Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers and neighbouring occupiers at No. 55 Shepherd Road, with particular regard to provision of external amenity space
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 53 Shepherd Road, with particular regard to outlook, overshadowing and privacy

What decided it

The proposal would have significant adverse effects on character and appearance and the living conditions of both future and neighbouring occupiers, failing to accord with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
