Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular reference to outlook and internal space
What decided it
The proposed development's prominent corner position, scale, mass, and design features (particularly the gable roof and visible rear projection) would create a discordant and dominant feature in the street scene that conflicts with the established character of the link-detached dwellings, combined with insufficient internal floor-to-ceiling heights that fail to meet London Plan standards.
