Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the local street scene
  • Whether the proposed house and garden would provide reasonable living conditions for the occupiers
  • Whether the proposal makes reasonable provision for open space in the locality
  • The effect on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)

What decided it

The proposal would appear cramped and squeezed into the constrained plot, harming the street scene and character of the area, whilst failing to provide reasonable living conditions through inadequate bedroom sizes and overshadowed garden space.
