Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
- the effect of the proposal on the highway safety of users of Norbury Hill and future occupiers of the dwellings
- whether the proposed development includes adequate fire safety measures
- the effect of the proposal on ecology and biodiversity
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with specific regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The proposal's harm to character and appearance through introduction of incongruous terraced backland development, combined with unresolvable highway safety and fire safety concerns arising from the constrained access, outweighed the moderate housing benefits.
