Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 267 and 269 Vicarage Farm Road in respect of light and outlook
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupants of the development with regard to external amenity space
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • the effect of the proposal on carbon emissions

What decided it

The proposal's detrimental effect on local character and appearance through its prominent incursion beyond the established building line, combined with inadequate external amenity space for future occupants and failure to address carbon emissions, outweighed any neutral or positive aspects.
