Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, encompassing its design, and any effect on the setting and thereby the significance, of affected heritage assets
What decided it
The Inspector found that the proposal's height, scale and design were justified by its context near West Ealing Station and caused no harm to character, appearance or heritage assets, while delivering very significant housing and affordable housing benefits, so the scheme accorded with the development plan as a whole.
the benefits of the scheme, particularly significant housing delivery and affordable housing, were considered alongside impacts found to be acceptable, and with no harm identified and accordance with the development plan found, no material considerations existed to justify withholding permission
