Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on living conditions of occupiers of the ground and first floor flats at 31 South Ealing Road, having particular regard to privacy
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, having particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The significant and unacceptable loss of privacy resulting from the very close separation distance between facing habitable room windows, combined with the harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area through loss of spaciousness, meant the benefits of providing new housing did not outweigh the identified harms.
