- Phillips A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the local area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with specific reference to outlook and daylight, as well as the provision of private outdoor amenity space and the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 46 Old Bedford Road with particular reference to privacy
- whether the proposal provides a suitable housing mix
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on three independent grounds—character and appearance, living conditions, and housing mix—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
