Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers at St Michaels Street and 1-2 Star Street with particular reference to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposal would have a harmful effect on the living conditions of occupiers at Nos 82 and 84 St Michael's Street through significant impairment of outlook caused by the scale, height and proximity of the extension's flank wall to their rear-facing windows and balconies.

Plan policies cited: Policy 7, Policy 33, Policy 38
