Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to outlook
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant harm to the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring residents caused by the overbearing impact of the proposed dwelling in close proximity to the site boundary outweighed the limited housing benefits.

The adverse impacts of the development on living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits of housing supply and mix when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy 7 of the Local Plan, Policy 10 of the Local Plan, Policy 26 of the Local Plan, Policy DC61 of the CSDCP, Policy D6 of the London Plan
