Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 1 Winslow Close with regards to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers regarding outlook and amenity space
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety in regards to parking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of both neighbouring and future occupiers in respect of privacy, outlook and amenity space could not be outweighed by any other considerations.
The benefits of the proposal, including overcoming concerns on trees, landscaping and cycle parking, and potential mitigation of highway safety concerns through a Section 106 agreement, did not outweigh the significant harm identified regarding character and appearance and the living conditions of occupiers of No 1 and future occupiers in respect of privacy, outlook and amenity space.
