Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the occupants of the ground floor flat of 19 Maxwell Road, and the future occupants of the proposed dwelling, with particular reference to the provision of private amenity space

What decided it

The significant and demonstrable harm to character and appearance and living conditions outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery in an area with an unmet housing land supply.

The adverse impacts to character and appearance and living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering one dwelling in an accessible location with housing land supply shortfall, assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.

Framework references: 11

Plan policies cited: D DM1, D SP1, QE SP1
