Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupants, with specific regard to outlook and amenity space
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 91 Appledore Crescent, with specific regard to outlook

What decided it

The combined harm to the living conditions of both future occupants (due to poor outlook from the primary living room) and neighbouring occupants (due to the scale and siting of the building affecting their outlook) outweighed the benefits of providing additional housing.
