Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the London Road (Norbury) Local Heritage Area
- Whether the development would promote the use of sustainable modes of travel including whether it would provide acceptable car parking
- The quality of living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to the size of the proposed dwellings, refuse storage, light and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on the supply of homes of different sizes
What decided it
The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area within the Local Heritage Area, combined with inadequate sustainable transport measures, unsafe car parking arrangements, and poor living conditions for unit 1, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no other considerations to indicate otherwise.
