Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the conditions experienced by users of the Jamia Masjid Hanfia Ghousia Mosque and 2 Cromwell Road, as well as the living conditions of the occupiers of numbers 73-69 Ford End Road, with particular regard to light, outlook, noise and pollution
  • the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties and users of the mosque through increased noise and pollution, and would unacceptably reduce light and outlook to the outside space at number 69 Ford End Road.
