Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal building or the local area
  • The effect of the proposed development on vehicle parking
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of the new ground floor flat with regard to privacy and potential noise and general disturbance

What decided it

The sustainable location with excellent public transport connectivity and proximity to Harrow town centre meant that the proposal would not conflict with development plan policies requiring car parking restriction in well-connected areas, and the modest additional activity from the conversion would not cause significant harm to character, appearance or living conditions.
