Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing property and the area, including its effect on trees
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the occupiers of the property, with particular regard to internal space and light to the basement area
- Whether the proposal would deliver the required level of urban greening and a biodiversity net gain
- Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for parking and the storage of bicycles
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 25 and 29 Cranhurst Road
- Whether the proposal would be acceptable in terms of flood risk
- Whether the proposal would achieve a suitable standard of fire safety
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area due to the effect of the outbuilding on trees, would fail to provide suitable living conditions for occupiers due to inadequate basement light and substandard bedroom sizes, and would not deliver the required urban greening and biodiversity net gain.
