Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the conservation area and on the setting of nearby listed buildings
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 5 and 6 Athena Close, with particular regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight
  • whether the proposal adequately addresses flood risk and would provide safe and sustainable drainage arrangements
  • the effect of the proposal on ecological interests
  • whether the proposal would deliver Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan on multiple grounds—heritage harm to the conservation area, adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions, unresolved flood risk and drainage concerns, and failure to demonstrate adequate ecological assessment and biodiversity net gain—and the material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
