Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not living conditions for the occupiers of 170 and 172 Harefield Road and future occupiers of the proposed dwelling would be acceptable with particular regard to privacy
- whether or not adequate provision would be made to meet the requirements for accessible housing
- the effect of the proposal on pedestrian and highway safety
What decided it
The unacceptable loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers and inadequate privacy for future occupiers resulting from insufficient separation distances between habitable room windows, combined with modest harm to the character and appearance of the area, outweighed the limited benefit of providing one additional dwelling.
