Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether the proposal provides for suitable living conditions for the future occupiers of the development (House B)
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of No.101 Selsdon Road with particular regard to outlook and outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the development on ecology
- the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
What decided it
The proposal's failure to provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of House B due to lack of sunlight to the rear garden area, combined with unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and adverse impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the benefit of providing additional dwellings.
