- Nilsson A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Chingford Station Road Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupants with particular regard to amenity space
- Whether, having regard to development plan policy, the proposed development would provide an appropriate mix of housing
What decided it
The combination of harm to the conservation area character through inappropriate materials, significant harm to neighbouring residents' outlook and privacy, and failure to provide an appropriate housing mix meant the development conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
