Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions for the occupiers of 16 and 18 Upney Lane, with particular regard to outlook
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and area
What decided it
The unauthorised development results in demonstrable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 16 through loss of outlook and harms the character and appearance of the host building and area through its excessive scale, bulk and design, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
