Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would conflict with the aims of national and local planning policy to create mixed and balanced communities
- the effect of the proposed first-floor rear extension and rear roof extension on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of the development in respect of private outdoor space and refuse and cycle storage facilities
- the effect of the proposed first-floor rear extension on the living conditions of occupiers of No 26 Honor Oak Park, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with multiple development plan policies on housing mix, design, and living conditions, with no material considerations to outweigh these conflicts.
