Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at nos 166, 168, 170 and 172 Henniker Gardens and nos 167, 169, 171 and 173 Haldane Road with regards to outlook, noise and disturbance
  • the effect of the proposal on biodiversity

What decided it

The proposal's excessive scale, bulky footprint, and incoherent design would harmfully reduce the sense of spaciousness characterising the area and appear as a disproportionate and incongruous addition that would significantly harm the outlook of neighbouring occupiers.
