Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including trees covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO)
- whether the proposal would give rise to highway safety issues and/or inconvenience for road users and pedestrians on Brookfield Avenue
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the intensive, cramped development at odds with the low-density, verdant suburban character of the area, combined with the potential for inconvenience to pedestrians and road users from constrained parking arrangements, outweighed any benefits and meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
The proposal would result in significant harm to character and appearance and potential inconvenience to road users and pedestrians, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate the decision should be made otherwise.
