210 Chamberlayne Road, London, NW10 3JX

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
• Whether the proposed dwelling would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light, privacy, and internal living space
• The effect of the proposed development on living conditions for residents of properties at 208 and 210 Chamberlayne Road, with particular regard to loss of privacy, and whether the development would be overbearing or lead to an unacceptable sense of enclosure
• Whether the proposal is acceptable in terms of flood risk
• Whether the development would make adequate provision in terms of biodiversity, including achieving an acceptable Urban Greening Factor
• Whether the proposed development would demonstrate the highest standards of fire safety

What decided it

The development would harm the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers and neighbours, particularly regarding privacy and outlook, which cannot be adequately mitigated by landscaping alone.
