Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 96 Kensington, with particular regard to sunlight, natural light, and outlook
- whether the proposal provides an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to the provision of internal living space and outdoor amenity space
- whether the proposed development would create an accessible housing scheme with regard to the relevant policies of the development plan
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and future occupants' living conditions, taken together, drew the scheme into conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
Plan policies cited: UD1, UD2, UD5, UD7, H13, H7, H10, H12
