Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Estcourt Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposals on the living conditions of the neighbour at No.106 Estcourt Road, with regard daylight, sunlight and outlook
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space
- whether or not the proposed parking arrangements would be acceptable
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Estcourt Conservation Area, combined with significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, outweighed the modest public benefits of providing an additional house on a previously developed site.
