Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 7 Kinson Park Road, having regard to privacy
Whether the proposed dwelling would provide satisfactory living conditions with regards internal space and privacy

What decided it

The significant harmful effects on character and appearance, combined with unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of both existing and future occupants, outweighed the housing supply benefits.

The adverse impacts of harm to character and amenity and unsatisfactory living conditions significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited economic, social and environmental benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: Policy CS21, Policy CS41, Policy 6.8
