Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Ealing Cricket Ground Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of surrounding properties, with particular regard to privacy and overlooking
  • Whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight, and natural ventilation

What decided it

The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the heritage asset of the conservation area by eroding its spacious character through introduction of built form into open garden space, and this harm would not be outweighed by the limited public benefit of a single small dwelling.
