Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, the setting of the Hayes Village Conservation Area (CA) and the setting of the locally listed Adam and Eve Public House (PH)
- Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for the future occupants
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for larger homes
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Hayes Village Conservation Area, which carries considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate benefits of providing 19 new dwellings did not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance, the less than substantial harm to the conservation area setting, the harm to the setting of the locally listed building, and the failure to provide acceptable living conditions and an appropriate housing mix.
