Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and Turriff Road streetscene
- the living conditions of neighbouring residents at 108 Fincham Road with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The design of the front extension elements would introduce incongruous features that conflict with the existing building's character and proportioning and undermine the symmetry of the streetscene, causing harm that outweighs the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
The absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions did not outweigh the harm arising from the effects of the design on the character and appearance of the building and streetscene.
