- Inspector
- De Freitas Terceiro P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether acceptable living conditions would be created for future occupants of the chalet and of the flats with particular regard to light levels, outlook, privacy and quality of outdoor private space
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with reference to the Tadworth Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would fail to create acceptable living conditions for future occupants due to inadequate light levels, poor outlook, and compromised privacy, which harm outweighed the limited housing and environmental benefits.
