Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the area including the future well-being of existing trees
- The effect on highway safety though increased pressure on on-street parking
- Whether the proposed dwelling would afford reasonable living conditions for the future occupiers
What decided it
The cumulative adverse effects on character and appearance, protected trees, and living conditions standards mean the proposal conflicts with the development plan and does not constitute sustainable development, outweighing the benefits of development in a sustainable location.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Core Strategy Policy CS8Policy DM10Policy G7 of the London Plan 2021London Plan Policy D6
