Selborne Road, Leyton, London, E17 7LT
Planning appeal 3278352 at Selborne Road, Leyton, London, E17 7LT (Waltham Forest London Borough Council) was allowed on 20 June 2022 by Inspector Woodwards O, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the siting and appearance of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area and on highway safety for pedestrians and pedestrian movement, and if any harm would occur, whether this is outweighed by the need for the proposal to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternative locations.
