Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 13 and 15a Kingswood Lane and 367 and 369 Limpsfield Road, with regard to privacy, loss of daylight and sunlight, and outlook
- whether the proposal would make an appropriate contribution towards improvements to sustainable transport modes
- whether the proposal would satisfactorily address the potential loss, or otherwise, of habitat suitable for protected species
- whether the proposal would include appropriate refuse storage
What decided it
The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents through loss of privacy and overshadowing, contrary to the development plan.
