Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding locality
- The living conditions of current and future occupiers of Nos 44a and 46 Ocean Drive with particular regard to access to light and appearance of the extensions
- The living conditions of current and future occupiers of Nos 44a and 52 Ocean Drive, and 4 South Drive, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed extensions would not be subservient to the host dwelling, would subsume the existing building, erode visual gaps characteristic of the area, and cause material harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of light and privacy, contrary to the development plan.
