Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Northolt Village Green Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupants of the host property, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The harm to the significance and character of the Northolt Village Green Conservation Area through the stark appearance of the hardstanding-dominated frontage, which would not be outweighed by the very modest public benefits of the scheme.
