Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and the setting of the Grade II listed properties 694A, 696A and 698A High Road
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers with particular regard to their access to outdoor amenity space
- 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 less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed properties, which is a matter of considerable importance and weight, was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the proposal, and the absence of a completed section 106 agreement to secure the car-free development rendered the proposal in conflict with the development plan.
