Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 101 and 105 Durban Road, with particular regard to outlook, the occupiers of No 101 with particular regard to daylight and sunlight, and future occupants with particular regard to internal space
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the transport effects of the proposal have been adequately addressed
What decided it
The cumulative harm to neighbouring living conditions, character and appearance, and inadequate transport mitigation significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling in a context of housing undersupply.
The harm to living conditions, character and appearance, and transport effects, to which significant, limited and moderate weight respectively were attached, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the minor benefits of providing one dwelling and improvements to the existing dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
