Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of No 55 Gascoigne Road with particular regard to outlook and light
  • whether the proposal would be acceptable in terms of flood risk

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance of the area, combined with unmitigated surface water flooding risk, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
