Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with specific regard to daylight and outlook
- the living conditions of prospective occupiers in respect of the provision of outdoor amenity space and, with specific regard to the bedroom of Flat 3 on the second floor, light and outlook
- the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
What decided it
The significant shortfalls against BRE Guide daylight standards for neighbouring properties on Tooting High Street, combined with loss of outlook and the absence of private outdoor amenity space for prospective occupiers, together with the harmful character and appearance of the development, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
