Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed building would project forward of the established building line and disrupt the distinctive quality of the street, appearing as a prominent and discordant feature that would harmfully affect the character and appearance of the area.
The limited economic benefits of the office use did not outweigh the harmful effect on character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM1 of the Haringey Development Management DPD1Policy SP11 of the Haringey Local Plan
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
