Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupants, with particular regard to internal and external space and outlook
- the effect of the proposed development on parking provision and highway safety
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, including whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Malden Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate satisfactory living conditions due to inadequate ceiling heights in unit 3, would create unacceptable parking and highway safety impacts, and would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and locally-listed building.
