Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the proposed flats, with particular regard to internal space and overheating for Flat 3, and external space for all of the flats
- the effect of the development on the vitality and viability of the Southall Major Centre
What decided it
The proposal's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants, particularly the insufficient internal space and overheating risk for Flat 3 and lack of private outdoor space for all flats, conflicted with the development plan and could not be outweighed by support for effective land use.
