Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of 22 Victoria Park Avenue with particular regard to privacy and external amenity space
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular regard to privacy and external amenity space

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and would provide inadequate living conditions for both existing and future occupiers due to insufficient privacy and amenity space, which outweighs the benefits of additional housing supply.

the benefits of an additional dwelling and local economic uplift were outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance and living conditions of existing and future occupiers
