Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of Petersbourne Court, a non-designated heritage asset
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of residents of Petersbourne Court in relation to external amenity space
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed development, having regard to privacy, external amenity space and internal space
- The effect of the proposal on nearby trees
- The effect of the proposal on the highway and pedestrian safety, having regard to parking provision
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the non-designated heritage asset, combined with inadequate living conditions for both existing and future occupiers, outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
