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 the living conditions of the occupiers of 97-99 and 103 Ladbroke Road and the occupiers of properties on Lynwood Road, with particular reference to outlook, noise and pollution
What decided it
The proposal's large footprint, bulk and extensive hardstanding would create a cramped, overdeveloped form that would harm the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with Policy DES1 and the Framework's design principles.
The benefits of housing supply and efficient land use were afforded some weight but did not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the area.
Plan policies cited: Policy DES1, Policy DES9
