- Inspector
- Teasdale N
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to privacy and levels of natural light
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property, terrace and surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Streatham High Road/Streatham Hill Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing surrounding properties with particular regard to privacy and outlook
- Whether the proposed development would provide safe access for pedestrians, occupiers of the new flats or those using the refuse storage and cycle parking in the shared rear access alley
What decided it
The proposed development would fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers and would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, with insufficient public benefits to offset the identified harm.
