Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve the character and appearance of the Wanstead Grove Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The unacceptable overbearing outlook and sense of enclosure caused to the occupants of Nos 62 and 64 Buckingham Road by the substantial mass of roof positioned almost on the property boundary significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefit.

The modest contribution to housing supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm caused to the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 62 and 64 Buckingham Road
