Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupants with particular regard to outdoor amenity space provision, outlook and privacy
• The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 26 The Park with particular regard to overlooking, outlook and light
• The effect on the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the Ealing Common Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants in relation to amenity space provision, outlook and privacy, which adverse impacts demonstrably outweigh the limited housing supply benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.

The adverse impacts on the living conditions of future occupiers demonstrably outweigh the benefits (limited housing contribution, short-term economic benefits, and good location relative to services and transport) when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
