Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on nearby trees with particular regard to whether any felling or pruning would have a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the High Street (Hampton Hill) Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and the free movement of traffic with particular regard to on-site parking provision
- Whether adequate arrangement is made towards the provision of affordable housing
What decided it
The application of the more recently adopted London Plan parking standards (Policy T6.1) over conflicting Local Plan requirements, combined with the site's sustainable location and the absence of demonstrable evidence of harm to trees or unacceptable highway impact, allowed the appeal to proceed.
