Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 196 and 200C Burgess Road, with particular reference to outlook, daylight, privacy and noise
- whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, outlook, noise, internal space and safety
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate cycle storage facilities for future occupiers of the bedsit and adequate waste facilities for future occupiers of the bedsit and the restaurant
What decided it
The significant harm to living conditions of both existing and future occupiers, combined with inadequate cycle and waste storage and harm to character and appearance, outweighs the modest housing and economic benefits even under the tilted balance.
the identified adverse impacts of the proposed development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework as a whole
