Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the rear garden environment, taking into consideration the site's location within the Canons Park Estate Conservation Area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at 55, 57 and 59 Canons Drive with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The treehouse results in a material loss of privacy for neighbouring occupants through overlooking, which conflicts with development plan policies on neighbouring amenity and cannot be justified by material considerations.
Plan policies cited: Policy D3.D(11) of the London Plan 2021, Policy CS1.B of the Harrow Core Strategy 2012, Policy D3.D(7) of the London Plan, Policy DM1 of the Harrow Council Development Management Policies 2013
