Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Harlington Village Conservation Area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety
  • The effect of the development on the Borough's supply of family housing

What decided it

The significant adverse visual effect on the conservation area from the dormers and front parking area, combined with highway safety concerns from the proposed vehicular crossing onto a busy classified road, outweighed the modest economic benefits and neutral impact on family housing supply.
