Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Stoke Conservation Area, including the effect on protected trees
- The living conditions of future occupiers in respect of daylight and outlook, and those of the occupiers of No. 22 Fitzroy Road in respect of private outdoor space
- Biodiversity
- Highway safety with particular regard to other road users
- Whether the proposed development would be sustainable, with regard to carbon emissions and the use of sustainable forms of transport
- Whether contributions for affordable housing and infrastructure are required
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Stoke Conservation Area caused by the removal of protected trees and introduction of built form was not outweighed by the public benefits of providing seven new dwellings.
