Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of occupiers of properties around the site and occupiers of the proposed house
  • The effect on highway and pedestrian safety
  • The effect on the Thames Estuary and Marshes Special Protection Area (SPA)

What decided it

The prominent and overbearing appearance of the proposed dwelling in the street scene, particularly from Codrington Crescent, causing material harm to the character and appearance of the area, was not outweighed by the housing delivery benefits available under the tilted balance.

The adverse effects on character and appearance and conflict with the Framework in achieving well-designed places sympathetic to local character were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery arising from the lack of five-year housing land supply
