Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed rear extension including roof terrace would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Loughborough Park Conservation Area
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to amenity space, outlook and levels of daylight and sunlight
- The effect of the proposed roof terrace on the living conditions of the occupants of 314 Coldharbour Lane with regard to privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and sustainable travel choices with regard to parking
- Whether suitable provision has been made for cycle parking and refuse storage
What decided it
The cumulative harm arising from breaches of conservation area policy, unacceptable living conditions for future and neighbouring occupants, failure to secure sustainable travel commitments, and inadequate refuse and cycle storage arrangements was not outweighed by the public benefits of bringing a vacant property back into use and providing additional housing.
