Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Cranford Village Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to access, amenity space and waste and recycling facilities
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of existing neighbouring occupants, with regard to noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposed development on the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network
- Whether the proposed development would meet appropriate energy and carbon reduction standards
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area, combined with failures to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants and highway safety concerns, clearly outweighed the modest public benefits of the proposal.
