Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 Crown Lane (Nos 7-17), with particular regard to outlook
  • whether an acceptable planning obligation has been made to ensure that the proposal would be car-free
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable cycle storage

What decided it

The proposal would have a harmful effect on the living conditions of occupiers of Nos 7-17 Crown Lane with particular regard to outlook, appearing overbearing despite design mitigation, which was contrary to paragraph 135 of the Framework.
