Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 49, 51 and 53 Lower Addiscombe Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
  • the effect of the proposed development on parking provision and highway safety
  • whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for accessible cycle storage

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance of the area and the harm to living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly regarding outlook and potential loss of light, were not outweighed by the limited benefits of housing delivery.
