Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 29 Shaftesbury Avenue by way of light

What decided it

The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area caused by the awkward angled relationship of the single storey dwelling to the existing corner property.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic gain from one additional dwelling did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance of the area.
