Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with Policy 10 of the Sutton Local Plan and provide "better designed and high quality" housing
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the design, scale and appearance of the roof level
- Whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for the future occupiers in terms of external amenity space
- The effect of the development on carbon emissions, flood risk and biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area through its visually intrusive and dominant design, scale and massing, conflicting with Local Plan Policy 28 and London Plan Policy D3.
Plan policies cited: Policy 10, Policy 28, Policy 9, Policy 31, Policy 32, Policy 33, London Plan Policy D3, London Plan Policy D1, London Plan Policy D4, London Plan Policy D6, Hackbridge and Beddington Corner Neighbourhood Plan Policy H&BEP1
