Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 367 Alexandra Road, having particular regard to privacy and access to sunlight
- Whether acceptable living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed development, having particular regard to the availability of outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The considerable harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the excessive height, bulk and mass of the proposed extension, which would appear discordant with its immediate surroundings, outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits of the scheme.
