Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the developments on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the developments provide acceptable living conditions for current and future occupiers of 143 Colindale Avenue and 145 Colindale Avenue with particular regard to outdoor space
- the effect of the developments on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The identified harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the outdoor living conditions of occupiers outweighed the lack of noise harm and the limited weight given to business retention, leading to dismissal of the ground (a) appeals.
the harm to character and appearance and to outdoor living conditions outweighed the limited weight afforded to the benefit of retaining the buildings for the restaurant business, so the appeals on ground (a) did not succeed
