Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 840 Wickham Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
  • whether the proposal would make appropriate provision for car and cycle parking

What decided it

The cumulative planning harms identified—harm to character and appearance, harm to neighbouring living conditions, and inadequate cycle parking provision—attracted considerable weight and were not outweighed by the limited benefit of housing delivery.
