Development: residential · Householder developments
Inspector: Griffin E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the development affects the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
whether the development harms the living conditions of the occupiers of No 22 and No 26 Loring Road with particular regard to overlooking, overshadowing and loss of light

What decided it

The height, width and mass of the conservatory was visually over-dominant and incongruous in relation to both the appeal building and neighbouring development, causing harm to character and appearance and living conditions that could not be adequately remedied by the alternative scheme proposed.
