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 adjacent occupiers' living conditions, with particular regard to the outlook from 2 Selby Gardens and the availability of natural light to it, and the outlook from 84 Westbury Avenue and overlooking of it
- whether the scheme would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupiers of the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance, combined with moderate harm to adjacent occupiers' living conditions and poor living conditions for the proposed dwelling's occupiers, demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefit of contributing one additional dwelling to housing supply.
the adverse impacts from granting permission (significant harm to character and appearance, moderate harm to adjacent occupiers' living conditions, and moderate harm to proposed occupiers' living conditions) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits (contribution to housing supply of one dwelling and modest economic contribution), tipping decisively against the proposal
