Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal proposal would achieve high quality design and respond to local character and the street scene of Greenhithe
  • Whether the appeal proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook from habitable rooms with projecting bay windows on the rear of blocks A and B

What decided it

The proposal's location close to modern facilities, services and public transport, combined with its high quality design that responds appropriately to local character and provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, means it accords with the Development Plan when read as a whole.

Framework references: 48, 130
