Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 9 and 13 Queensland Avenue
  • whether the proposal would provide an appropriate standard of accommodation for future occupiers in respect of internal space
  • the effect of the proposal on the mix of housing in the area

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the size, siting and design of the proposed extensions, which would erode the spaciousness of the gap between properties and appear incongruous in the streetscene and when viewed from the allotments.

The benefits of housing supply and accessible location did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the unacceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
