Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property 'Duneaves', with specific regard to their outlook from ground and first floor windows
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including on the settings of listed buildings, and on the preservation or enhancement of the Sudbury Hill Conservation Area (SHCA) and the Mount Park Estate Conservation Area (MPECA)
  • if any harm is found, whether any benefits of the proposed development would outweigh that harm

What decided it

The significant benefit to local education provision and the absence of alternative sites within the campus for similar floorspace outweighed the moderate harm to neighbouring outlook.
