Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 108 to 114 Winding Way in respect of daylight, sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would appear as an uncharacteristic and incongruous addition to the streetscene due to its tapered angular form and shallow pitched hipped roof design, conflicting with the cohesive gabled roof character of Lake Close and local design policies.
