Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 51 Kings Road in regard to loss of light and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers in regard to outdoor amenity space and internal living standards
- The provision of family sized accommodation
What decided it
The significant harm to neighbouring living conditions combined with inadequate internal living standards for future occupiers and the loss of much-needed family accommodation outweighed the modest benefit of one additional residential unit.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising harm to neighbouring living conditions, inadequate living standards for future residents, and loss of family housing, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefit of one additional residential unit.
