Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of the adjacent property, No 56 Eastcote Road, with regard to outlook and light
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to internal space provision in bedroom No 3
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and future occupier living conditions demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery.
The modest weight attributed to housing benefits and economic/social gains was outweighed by the significant weight attributed to harm to character and appearance, living conditions of adjacent occupiers, and living conditions of future occupiers.
