Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers at 9 Swan Close and 118a Leesons Hill with particular reference to outlook, noise and disturbance
- Whether internal living conditions within the proposed dwelling at the rear of the site would be satisfactory
What decided it
The proposal would harm the living conditions of occupiers at 9 Swan Close through overbearing impact and loss of outlook, and would provide unsatisfactory internal living conditions in the rear dwelling with no windows to basement rooms, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
