Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and local area, with particular regard to the Ferndale Road Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 78 Ferndale Road and 82 Ferndale Road, with particular regard to privacy, daylight and sunlight, and to the occupants of the upper floors of 80 Ferndale Road, with particular regard to security
  • whether the proposed development would provide an adequate standard of accommodation for future occupants, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The development would cause less than substantial harm to the significance of the Ferndale Road Conservation Area by being disproportionate in scale and lacking subordinance, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits of the proposal.
