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 2 Beaumont Avenue with particular regard to light and outlook
  • whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be acceptable with particular regard to the provision of internal space

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and would fail to provide adequate internal space for future occupiers in breach of development plan policies, and these harms outweighed the modest benefits of additional housing supply.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP 39, Policy LP 1, Policy LP 8, Policy LP 35, Policy LP 36, Policy LP 44, Policy LP 45, Policy LP 22, Policy SI 2
