Authority: London Borough of Camden
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Skelly C
Postcode: NW1 8AN

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regards to daylight and construction disturbance
the effect on the free-flow of traffic, with particular regard to the availability of on-street parking
whether the proposed development provides adequate provision for cycle storage

What decided it

The absence of a signed legal agreement to secure car-free development, construction management mitigation, and the unresolved harm to daylight at the neighbouring property meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations to justify approval.
