Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the residents of No 24A Chipstead Valley Road, with particular regard to outlook and visual intrusion
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future residents of Unit 1, with particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
- whether flood risk would be adequately mitigated
- whether the proposal would support the use of sustainable transport options and reduce car dependency and vehicular traffic on local streets
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—character and appearance, living conditions of neighbouring and future residents, flood risk mitigation, and sustainable transport—with no material considerations indicating it should be determined otherwise.
