Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Gunnersbury Park Conservation Area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 The Ridgeway having specific regard to the quantity of outdoor amenity space
- whether the proposal would include appropriate measures to reduce carbon emissions having particular regard to renewable energy sources
What decided it
The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Gunnersbury Park Conservation Area by eroding the open side garden space characteristic of the area, and the limited public benefit of one housing unit could not outweigh this harm.
