Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its layout, density and its effect upon trees
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to its layout, proximity to trees, privacy, outdoor space, and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 109a Foxley Lane, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposed development would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area through its dense layout and effect on protected trees, and would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding private amenity space constrained by trees and poor outlook from flat 1, resulting in conflict with the development plan and unsustainable development.
