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 the occupants of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight and occupants of 53 Brent View Road and Spruce Lodge
- the impact of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to parking
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The material harm caused by the proposal to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and highway safety, combined with its conflict with the development plan taken as a whole, outweighed the limited benefit of modest housing contribution.
