Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon designated Habitats sites
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the ground floor flat at No 20 Station Road, with particular reference to daylight and outlook
  • the character and appearance of the host building and the area

What decided it

The failure to secure adequate mitigation for likely significant effects on the Thames Basin Heaths SPA, combined with harmful effects on neighbouring living conditions and character and appearance, meant the benefits were significantly outweighed by the harm.
