Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 85 and 91 Perne Road and 1 Langham Road, with particular regard to privacy, noise and disturbance and whether there would be any overbearing effects
- whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for occupiers of the development, with particular regard to light within private amenity spaces
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to character and appearance, an unacceptable overbearing effect on No 1 Langham Road, and would fail to provide adequate light within private amenity spaces for three of the proposed units, with no overriding factors to justify these harms.
