Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the non-designated heritage asset of the Becontree Estate
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 11 Neville Gardens with particular reference to privacy and outlook
- Whether the proposal provides safe and sufficient parking
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area, including the non-designated heritage asset, combined with the failure to demonstrate safe and sufficient parking provision, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing and economic benefits.
The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance and insufficient parking provision significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of a single dwelling contribution to housing supply and limited economic benefits, despite the engagement of paragraph 11(d) of the Framework due to lack of five-year housing land supply.
