Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the property and the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 30 Mottingham Road, with regard to outlook and light
  • Whether the proposal would make satisfactory provision for refuse and recycling storage

What decided it

The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and inadequate waste storage arrangements outweighed the benefits of housing delivery in the context of the tilted balance.

The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of the site, to which limited weight was attached, were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, and inadequate refuse and recycling storage facilities.
