Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Larkfield Road and 6 St Johns Road, with particular regard to outlook
  • Whether the proposal would be appropriate in respect of flooding and fire risk
  • Whether the proposal would provide an appropriate provision of affordable housing
  • Whether the proposal would provide an acceptable standard of accommodation for future occupiers

What decided it

The substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions through oppressive outlook impacts, combined with unresolved flooding and fire risk concerns and the failure to secure appropriate affordable housing contributions, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in a sustainable location.
