Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbours
  • The effects of the proposed development on external appearance

What decided it

The unacceptable effects on external appearance, whereby the additional storey would appear top-heavy, ungainly and poorly designed, jarring in the streetscene and out of character with the host building and surrounding area.
