Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 34 and 36 Peverel Road and Nos 133 to 145 Barnwell Road with particular regard to outlook, overshadowing and privacy
  • whether the appeal proposal would provide suitable living conditions for the occupants of the development with particular regard to internal and external amenity space, accessibility and safety
  • whether the appeal proposal would provide adequate cycle storage

What decided it

The proposal would conflict with the development plan across multiple policy areas (character, neighbouring amenity, internal standards, accessibility and safety) and these harms were not outweighed by the limited economic and housing supply benefits.
