- Housden C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal provides adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the ground floor properties
- whether a planning obligation would be required to secure a financial contribution to sustainable transport initiatives and to restrict future occupiers of the development from applying for parking permits
- ecology, with specific regard to the effect of the proposal on protected or notable species and habitats, and whether the proposal would achieve a biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The considerable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the excessive height, bulk, scale and massing of the three-storey building, which would appear dominant and intrusive within the streetscene and break up the composition of the row of detached and semi-detached two-storey properties.
