Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Roman Road, with particular regard to any overbearing effect and overshadowing
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable overbearing and overshadowing effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, conflicting with Policy EM10.
The benefits of improved accommodation to the appeal property's occupiers and the absence of harm to character and appearance were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and overshadowing.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EM10
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
