Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect of the proposal on the amenities of neighbours, with particular regard to loss of outlook, levels of light and overshadowing
- Whether the proposal would be acceptable in traffic terms, including the safety and efficiency of the local highways network
- Whether the proposal would meet BREEAM excellent standards
What decided it
The material harm to the character and appearance of the local area caused by the visual discord between the proposed building's design, scale and massing and the adjoining No 118 Windmill Road, combined with insufficient information to demonstrate acceptable impacts on neighbouring amenities, outweighed the satisfactory resolution of traffic and sustainability matters.
