Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for its future occupiers in terms of their outlook, noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 4a, 6 and 6a with respect to their outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The proposal's combination of excessive height, width and design would appear incongruously dominant in the street scene and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, particularly flats 2 and 5 with severely limited outlook.
