Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 4 Hillcroft Avenue, with regard to outlook and natural light
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of light, which significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits.
