Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would prejudice the optimum future redevelopment of a neighbouring site
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
  • whether the proposal would deliver a mix of housing that would contribute to mixed and balanced communities
  • whether the proposed development would be acceptable in terms of its accessibility for a range of users
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupants, with regards to overlooking and perceived overlooking
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision to restrict future occupiers from applying for parking permits in the event of a controlled parking zone being introduced in the area and to ensure the provision of cycle hire membership, car club membership, and an on-street disabled car parking space
  • whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for matters relating to fire safety

What decided it

The proposed development would unduly prejudice the optimum future redevelopment of the neighbouring site at Canute Court, and this significant harm outweighed the moderate benefits of contributing to housing supply.
