Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having particular regard to the heritage significance of the existing dwelling
- Whether the proposal would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants of the development with particular regard to outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance and the provision of outdoor space
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 38 Bromley Avenue with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, including to the non-designated heritage asset, and the unacceptable living conditions for future occupants substantially and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The adverse impacts of allowing the appeal, comprising significant harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future occupants, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of eight additional housing units and associated social and economic benefits.
