- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 52 and 54 Faircross Avenue, and future occupiers of the appeal site, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- The acceptability of the proposed car parking provision, with respect to the Council's strategic approach to parking standards
What decided it
