Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings
- Whether the development would deliver an adequate mix of housing to meet local needs
- Whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to the provision of external amenity space, outlook, light, privacy and noise and disturbance
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of 1 Madison Close, 87-91A Langley Park Road and Jean Mary House with particular regard to privacy
- Whether the development would make adequate provision to mitigate against the effects of overspill car parking on highway safety
What decided it
The cumulative harm from breaches of development plan policies on character and appearance, housing mix, and living conditions for both future and existing occupiers outweighed the benefits of providing additional dwellings.
