Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 628A Hertford Road with particular regard to outlook, loss of daylight and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of the new flats, in particular regard to the means of access and internal space standards for the proposed second floor flat; the internal space standards and provision of appropriate daylight, outlook and privacy for the proposed first floor flat; and provision of suitable refuse facilities for the flats
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, in particular regard to on-street parking
- whether the proposed development would adequately address surface water run-off in regard to flood risk management
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance combined with unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants at No 628A and inadequate internal space standards for future occupants justified dismissal.
