Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for affordable housing
- the effect of the proposal on the safety of users of Fairfax Road and including whether adequate car parking and waste/recycling servicing is provided
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity and ecology
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of 122 Fairfax Road (No.122), with specific regard to outlook
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for accessible and adaptable dwellings
What decided it
The proposal's failure to secure adequate affordable housing provision, combined with moderate harm to character and appearance, outweighed the modest housing and sustainability benefits under the tilted balance.
The moderate harm to character and appearance and the significant harm from inadequate affordable housing provision, given substantial weight, were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of housing delivery and site sustainability when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
