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 the occupiers of 184 Anerley Road, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area, particularly the loss of openness at the corner plot and the cramped appearance of the development, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
The modest housing benefits and economic contributions were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
