Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area
- the living conditions of existing occupiers of No 15 Lopen Road, with regard to privacy, outlook and natural light
- the living conditions of future occupiers of the upper flat, with regard to internal habitable space and external amenity space, and of the lower flat with respect to privacy
- the provision of family accommodation
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the appeal property and area, combined with harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest benefits of a net gain of one home.
