Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether or not living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed two-bedroom dwelling would be acceptable with particular regard to outlook and the provision of outdoor amenity space
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers at 2 Beaconsfield Road with particular regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable cumulative harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of both future occupiers and neighbouring residents, which could not be outweighed by the modest housing contribution.
