Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the wider terrace and area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of No 24 and No 28 Marsh Green Road with particular regard to daylight, outlook, privacy and noise
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to external amenity space
- the effect of the proposed development on car-parking provision
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Becontree Estate as a non-designated heritage asset and the detrimental impact on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 24 significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of delivering one additional dwelling in an area with housing undersupply.
The benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm to character and appearance of the heritage asset and the detrimental impact on neighbouring living conditions.
