Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the living conditions of present and future occupiers of No 7 Beaufort Gardens in terms of height, proximity and outlook
whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings on Julien Court Road

What decided it

The overbearing and dominating effect of the raised roof and extended flank wall on the living conditions and outlook of the neighbouring occupants at No 7 Beaufort Gardens, combined with overshadowing, outweighed the sustainable use benefits of the proposal.

Framework references: 130

Plan policies cited: LPP36, LPP52

What an account adds

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
