Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- highway safety, with particular regard to the proposed access arrangements and parking provision
- the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 153 Harrow Road, with particular regard to light and privacy
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, highway safety, and neighbour amenity—and the modest benefits do not outweigh the identified harm.
The limited benefits of housing provision, site sustainability, and construction employment were insufficient to outweigh the substantial harm to character and appearance, highway safety, and neighbouring living conditions.
