Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 9 and 15 Old Bath Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed development would fundamentally alter the character of the area by introducing a dominant two-storey form incongruous with the modest scale of neighbouring properties and would have an overbearing impact on the living conditions of adjacent occupiers.

The benefits of the development would not outweigh the harm caused to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
