6 Station Approach, Hoe Street, LONDON, E17 9QF

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• the effect of the development on highway and pedestrian safety, including whether there would be suitable servicing arrangements and having regard to the Outline Construction Logistics Plan
• the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 2 to 26 Priory Avenue, with particular regard to outlook
• whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation for future occupiers in terms of external private amenity space
• whether the proposal makes adequate provision for waste and refuse
• the effect of the construction phase on highway safety
• whether a Section 106 agreement and the obligations therein are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development and are fairly related in scale and kind

What decided it

The substantial and cumulative harm arising from highway safety concerns, adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions, inadequate private amenity space for future residents, and the absence of a completed Section 106 agreement to secure necessary obligations clearly outweighed the modest benefits of the scheme.

The substantial harm from highway safety concerns, neighbouring amenity impacts, and inadequate residential standards outweighed the modest benefits of housing delivery on brownfield land in a sustainable location, with limited weight afforded to brownfield reuse given the cumulative harm identified.
