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.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Policy CS1.B of the Harrow Core Strategy 2012, Policy DM1 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan 2013
