77 Inwood Road, HOUNSLOW, TW3 1XH — London Borough of Hounslow — Appeal Decision 2) The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: Site Location Plan, N.A/77IR/101 A, N.A/77IR/102 A, N.A/77IR/103 A, N.A/77IR/104 A, N.A/77IR/105 A, N.A/77IR/106 A, N.A/77IR/107 A, N.A/77IR/108 A, N.A/77IR/109 A. Main Issues 2. The main issues in this case are: ● the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area. ● the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers with particular regard to daylight and outlook. Reasons Character and appearance 3. The appeal property is a public house situated in an area mainly dominated by older-style terraced housing. Due to its traditional architecture and prominent location on the corner of Inwood Road and Chapel Road, the public house is a particularly distinctive feature within the local street scene. In recognition of these attributes, the building has been locally listed. https://www.gov.uk/planning-inspectorate

77 Inwood Road, HOUNSLOW, TW3 1XH — London Borough of Hounslow — Appeal Decision Appeal Decision APP/F5540/W/22/3290161 4. The proposed extension would have little impact on the Inwood Road frontage as it would be situated behind the public house where it would be screened from public vantage points. Although part of the extension would be visible from the Chapel Road frontage, the majority of the structure would remain hidden from view behind the pub. The part of the extension that would be visible from Chapel Road would not be especially prominent due to its relatively low height in comparison to the public house and neighbouring housing. It would also be well set back from the street frontage behind a hardstanding area that is used for parking. 5. The proposed use of timber with bitumen roofing would not be characteristic of the more traditional architecture of the public house and neighbouring terraced housing. However, as the extension would be relatively inconspicuous from public vantage points, these materials would have little effect on the overall appearance of the host building or the wider street scene. 6. I therefore conclude on this issue that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area.

77 Inwood Road, HOUNSLOW, TW3 1XH — London Borough of Hounslow — Appeal Decision There would be no conflict with Policies CC1, CC2 and CC4 of the Local Plan1. Together, these policies support good design and the protection of heritage assets. Living conditions 7. The extension would adjoin the boundary of No 79 Inwood Road and would be higher than the existing fence. However, as the increase in height along the boundary would be relatively modest, it would not lead to a sense of enclosure or noticeably reduce daylight within No 79 or the rear garden of that property. For similar reasons, the extension would also have little impact on outlook or daylight levels within No 2 Chapel Road. 8. I therefore conclude on this issue that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on the living conditions of surrounding occupiers. There would be no conflict with Policy CC2 of the Local Plan in this regard. Conclusion 9. For the reasons given above, the appeal is allowed. In the interests of clarity, standard conditions requiring the development to be carried out in accordance with the plans and within a time limit have been imposed.
