Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 44 and 45 Zealand Avenue in respect of noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers in respect of internal space
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to car parking provision at the site

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the backland development pattern, combined with unacceptable noise and disturbance to neighbouring occupiers and failure to meet internal space standards for future occupiers, outweighed the modest benefits of the proposal.
