Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to whether the development would result in unacceptable overlooking or overbearing impacts
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the area, caused by the additional storey making the property compete in height with the adjacent corner block contrary to the established pattern of development, outweighed the absence of unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
The unacceptable effect on character and appearance outweighed the lack of other harm to the street scene and the absence of unacceptable living condition impacts.
