Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect on trees
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook, privacy and any overbearing effect to 17 and 21 Morland Avenue
  • The quality of accommodation for future occupiers with particular regard to outdoor space, accessibility and daylight and sunlight to the proposed units
  • Whether or not the proposed development would make adequate provision for homes of different sizes
  • Whether the proposed development would promote sustainable transport modes including with regard to cycle storage
  • Highway safety with particular regard to car parking

What decided it

The cumulative substantial harm to character and appearance, neighbouring living conditions, future occupier amenity, housing mix, highway safety and sustainable transport could not be outweighed by the moderate benefits of nine new dwellings.
