Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of no's 71 to 74 Upper Street, particularly regarding outlook and dominance
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the living conditions of occupiers at nos 71 to 74 Upper Street through unacceptable loss of outlook and sense of enclosure, which the economic and social benefits of the commercial development could not overcome.
The economic and social benefits of providing modern commercial premises did not outweigh the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of outlook and dominance.
