Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 64 Northwood Road having regard to daylight and sunlight
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of its future occupiers having regard to internal floorspace
  • The effect of the proposed parking and storage arrangements on highway safety and the living conditions of its future occupiers

What decided it

The cumulative material harm to the living conditions of both existing and future occupiers, combined with inadequate parking and storage provision in a poorly accessible location, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.

The benefits of housing delivery and economic/social benefits from construction were limited and insufficient to outweigh the material harm to daylight/sunlight of neighbouring occupiers, inadequate internal floorspace for future occupiers, and deficient parking and storage arrangements.
