Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 122 Foxley Lane in respect of any overshadowing and loss of outlook
  • highway safety

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the scale, mass, width and detailed design of the proposal, which would not be outweighed by the provision of additional housing.
