Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the streetscape
  • The living conditions of residents of 24 Portsdown Avenue with regards to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposals would cause significant harm to both the character and appearance of the streetscape and the living conditions of neighbouring residents through their scale, massing, roof design and excessive rear projection, contrary to local plan policies on design and residential amenity.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan 2021, Policy C5 of the Core Strategy 2012, Policy DM01 of the Development Management Policies 2012, Policy D6 of the London Plan, Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy
