What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and terrace, combined with significant harm to neighbouring living conditions through overbearing impact and loss of privacy, outweighed the appellant's personal need for amenity space.
The benefits of the proposal in providing family amenity space were outweighed by the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers and to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the local area.
