Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers having regard to internal and private external space
  • the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 37 Lansbury Avenue with particular regard to outlook and light
  • highway safety
  • trees

What decided it

The cumulative harm across five main issues—character and appearance, future occupier living conditions, neighbouring amenity, highway safety, and trees—was not outweighed by the benefits of providing a single additional dwelling on a brownfield site.
