Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the external appearance of the building
  • the impact on the amenity of the neighbouring premises at Nos 2, 3 and 4 Emerson Mews and 49 Montem Road with particular regard to outlook and privacy and in the case of 49 Montem Road, with regard also to daylight and sunlight
  • the transport and highways impacts of the proposed development

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the external appearance of the building, the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through overbearing impact, loss of privacy and daylight, and highway safety through increased parking pressure.
