- Bowyer J
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the vitality and viability of the Harlesden District Centre
- whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be acceptable with particular regard to privacy, outlook, light and the provision of external amenity space
- whether or not provision for servicing would be adequate to serve occupiers of the appeal site
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The combination of harm to the District Centre's vitality and viability, unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers, and inadequate servicing provision outweighed the limited benefit of providing a single additional dwelling.
