Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- whether satisfactory provision is made for a reduction in carbon emissions, sustainable drainage and water efficiency
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy at 69 Holland Avenue
- the quality of living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the erosion of the distinctive linear pattern of development and loss of openness at this corner plot, combined with inadequate provision for carbon emissions, sustainable drainage and water efficiency, outweighed the limited housing and accessibility benefits.
