- Inspector
- McDonagh C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building, street scene and the Ruislip Village Conservation Area (RVCA)
- The effects of the proposed three-storey building to the rear on the living conditions of occupiers of No's 1 and 3 Midcroft with regards to overlooking
- Whether the proposed three-storey building would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers regarding outlook and daylight
What decided it
The cumulative harm to the conservation area, neighbouring amenity through overlooking, and future occupiers' outlook could not be justified by the limited public benefits of three additional residential units.
