Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
the living conditions of the occupiers of Flat 4 of the host building, with regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host building and the area, caused by the scale and rectangular box form of the extension appearing incongruous and visually obtrusive against the predominant two storey pitched roof character of Salisbury Road.

The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of brownfield land were outweighed by the less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host building and the area.
