Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of Allington Court with regard to daylight and sunlight, and to occupants of Nos 7 and 9 Elliman Avenue with regard to outlook
  • the effect of the development on protected species
  • whether the development would achieve a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants regarding daylight, sunlight and outlook, combined with the failure to demonstrate that protected species would not be harmed, substantially outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and sustainable location.

applying Policy S4 of the Framework, the adverse effects of the development would substantially outweigh the benefits when assessed against the national decision-making policies of the Framework
