Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, the semi-detached pair and the street scene and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Ewell Village Conservation Area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 79 and 83 Kingston Road, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The proposal's disproportionate scale and massing would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the semi-detached pair, and would severely reduce outlook for the occupiers of No.79.
