Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on housing supply in the borough
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 11 Albany Park Road in respect of outlook
What decided it
The loss of a residential unit in a borough with only 2.21 years of housing supply, combined with harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers, outweighed the benefits of providing a high-quality family home and enhancing the conservation area.
The significant harm from loss of housing supply and moderate harm to neighbouring outlook outweighed the moderate benefits of providing a high-quality family home and enhancing the conservation area character; the proposal conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole.
