Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the provision of family sized dwellings in the borough
- the living conditions of occupants of the ground and first floor flats, with regards to internal and external living space, daylight and natural ventilation
- the living conditions of the occupants of 5 Trinidad Gardens, with regards to outlook, sunlight, daylight and privacy
- the character and appearance of the area
- the need for, and provision for the storage of bicycles
What decided it
The development fails to accord with the development plan due to harm to family housing provision, substandard living conditions for the new units, and unacceptable impact on the neighbouring property and area character, with no material considerations to outweigh these harms.
