Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the non-designated heritage asset
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants at No.24 Lyndhurst Avenue, with particular regard to outlook and light, and to the amount of amenity space for the occupants of the proposed dwelling
- whether the development would provide an adequate level of car parking within the site
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would harm the significance of the non-designated heritage asset by occupying a key gap in the planned layout and introducing an incongruous built form, combined with inadequate parking provision creating highway safety risks.
