Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, with particular regard to the appeal site's location within the Old Portsmouth Conservation Area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to loss of privacy
What decided it
The proposed second floor bedroom windows would give rise to an unacceptable level of overlooking of the rear gardens to Nos 7 and 9 Lombard Street, contrary to policy PCS23 of The Portsmouth Plan.
