Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of housing
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, odour and noise
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 7 and 11 Northwood Avenue, with particular regard to outlook, sense of enclosure and privacy
What decided it
The development at 3 Northwood Avenue, which was found acceptable by the Council and is now a feature of the street scene, provided material context demonstrating that the scale, massing and height of the appeal proposal would not be unacceptable or disrupt the rhythm of the street scene.
