  • whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to light

What decided it

The proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the heritage significance of the Osterley Park Conservation Area by eroding the sense of spaciousness and failing to preserve or enhance its character, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits of providing two family homes.

Plan policies cited: Policy CC1, Policy CC2, Policy CC4, Policy SC5, Policy EC2, Policy EQ1, Policy D3, Policy D4, Policy D6, Policy T6.1, Policy SI 2
