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 the occupants of no. 6 St Vincents Villas in respect of loss of light and overbearing impact
- Parking provision
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the narrow, cramped form of the development and its discordant appearance within the streetscene, combined with the overbearing impact and loss of light to the neighbouring property, outweighed the benefits of additional housing.
The benefits of well-insulated, water-efficient additional housing were outweighed by the harm to character and appearance and the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
