Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers with particular regard to the internal layout, outlook and outside amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The adverse impacts of the development on character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits of one additional dwelling to housing supply.

The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land were outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance, living conditions of future occupants and highway safety when assessed against the Framework policies as a whole.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy 4, Policy 37, Policy 30, Policy 32, London Plan Policy D4, London Plan Policy D6, London Plan Policy T6, London Plan Policy T6.1
