Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host property and the street scene and upon the living conditions of the occupants of No 15 Frensham Avenue with regard to the effect on levels of sunlight and the outlook from that property
What decided it
The material harm to the character and appearance of the host property and street scene, combined with the materially harmful effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overshadowing and overbearing impact, could not be outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances.
The personal need for additional living space was outweighed by the material harm to character and appearance and the harm to neighbouring living conditions, with no balancing factors in favour of the proposal.
