Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its siting, scale, and design
- Highway safety, with particular regard to pedestrian visibility
- The living conditions of existing occupiers, with particular regard to the effect on outlook and light for the occupiers of nos 38 and 40 Old Farm Avenue
What decided it
The proposal's harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area through its contrived and uncharacteristic design, combined with unacceptable pedestrian visibility and highway safety concerns, meant the development conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.
