Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of Tanglewood and 61 Marlings Park Avenue, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- road safety, with regard to car parking
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the Area of Special Residential Character and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery.
The benefits of housing delivery and high-quality internal standards attracted only limited weight and were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours.
