Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not occupants of the proposed dwelling would experience appropriate living conditions
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would fail to provide appropriate living conditions for future occupants due to very limited outlook from main habitable rooms, combined with fairly limited harm to character and appearance, which together outweighed the modest benefits of delivering one housing unit on previously developed land.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021Policy CS1.B of the Harrow Core Strategy 2012Policy DM1 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan 2013
