Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties with regards to outlook
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety regarding refuse, turning and access
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the setting, character or appearance of the Canonbury Conservation Area and heritage assets
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers regarding outlook and the harmful effects on highway safety regarding refuse, turning and access outweighed the benefits of the scheme and the absence of harm to heritage assets.
The benefits of brownfield development, housing supply, sustainable design and affordable housing contribution were outweighed by the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions and highway safety.
