Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 56, 58 and 60 Overdale Road and No 294 Greendale Road with regard to privacy, outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development on the amenity of local residents in respect of parking provision
What decided it
The site has already been closed and is unavailable for public use with no prospect of reopening, meaning the harm from loss of parking provision has already occurred and would not be significantly worsened by the proposal, allowing the benefits of housing supply and brownfield reuse to outweigh the limited residual harm.
