Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and the Old Northwood Area of Special Local Character
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of the development, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Old Northwood Area of Special Local Character, combined with the loss of privacy to neighbouring residents and failure to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, outweighed the benefits of enhancing the commercial premises and reusing previously developed land.
