Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effects of the development upon the living conditions of the occupants of 94 and 96 Lansdowne Road and 26 Montague Road and, whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the future occupants of the proposed dwelling
- Whether or not planning obligations are necessary to make the development acceptable and, if so, whether or not any necessary agreements have been entered into
What decided it
The combination of unacceptable harm to character and appearance, harm to neighbouring living conditions, inadequate living conditions for future occupants, and absence of necessary planning obligations to secure a car-free development meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole with no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate otherwise.
