Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring property at 421 Whitehall Road with regards to natural light, outlook and privacy
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers

What decided it

The proposal accords with the development plan taken as a whole, particularly policies requiring high quality design respecting local character and safeguarding neighbour amenity, which means the housing land supply shortfall does not alter the outcome.
