Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 86-94 Cromwell Road, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide housing that would meet an identified need, with regard to local policy
What decided it
The significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly regarding outlook and the dominance of the extension over their rear gardens, outweighed the modest benefits of delivering a new dwelling.
The benefits of housing delivery and the absence of harm to character and appearance were outweighed by the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
