Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposals are satisfactory in respect of flood risk
  • whether the proposals make satisfactory provision for affordable housing
  • the effects of the proposals on highway safety
  • the effects of the proposals on ecology
  • the effect of the Appeal A proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 40 Warren Road, with regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The cumulative harm to character and appearance, unresolved flood risk concerns, failure to provide affordable housing contributions, and for Appeal B unacceptable highway safety risks, collectively outweighed the modest housing supply benefits.
