Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of No 43 and 45 Woodcote Grove Road, with respect to outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable access and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The significant and unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 43 Woodcote Grove Road through loss of outlook and light, combined with the failure to address the likely presence of protected species, outweighed the limited benefits of providing two additional residential units.
