Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Osterley Park Conservation Area (OPCA) and the effect of the proposed development on trees
- whether the proposed development would mitigate the effects of carbon emissions
- whether the location of the proposed development would be suitable, having regard to development plan policies for housing growth
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the Osterley Park Conservation Area and loss of mature trees, combined with failure to meet carbon emission reduction targets and unsuitability of location under development plan policies, outweighed the modest housing and visual benefits.
the moderate benefits of housing contribution and visual improvement from garage removal were outweighed by the great weight to be given to harm to the heritage asset and failure to meet carbon emission requirements
