Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • For Appeal A: whether the development would provide an acceptable living environment for future occupants
  • For Appeal B: the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjoining dwellings, including 1 Wolseley Road

What decided it

The material harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the introduction of backland housing that would disrupt the established urban grain and pattern of development, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefits.

The social benefits of housing delivery and the modest contribution to addressing the housing shortfall were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the material harm to character and appearance and, in Appeal B, the unacceptable adverse impact on the living conditions of existing occupiers.
