Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the viability of the existing ground floor commercial unit at 118 Church Road
  • Whether the development would include an appropriate provision of family housing
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring flats at No 2 Curzon Crescent, with particular regard to outlook and enclosure

What decided it

The development would not cause significant harm to the commercial viability, character and appearance, or living conditions of neighbours, and the exception for family housing provision was justified by the site's constrained characteristics.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE6, Policy BH6, Policy BD1, Policy DMP1
