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 occupants of 425 Long Lane with regard to outlook, light and privacy
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to outlook and amenity space
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regards to parking provision

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupants and failure to provide adequate parking provision outweighed the moderate benefits of housing growth.
