Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including trees
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to privacy, light and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on living conditions of neighbouring occupants with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The proposed development would materially harm the character and appearance of the perimeter block by introducing a prominent dwelling in a rear garden contrary to DM Policy 33, and would fail to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers due to severely restricted outlook from the basement bedroom.
