Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Dolphin Court Road, in particular with regard to any overbearing and overlooking
- whether or not the scheme would provide satisfactory parking arrangements
What decided it
The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area, combined with the overbearing effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupants, was not outweighed by the limited benefit of modest parking improvements.
The substantial harm to character and appearance and living conditions was attributed substantial weight, while the modest parking improvement was afforded limited weight, resulting in the harm outweighing the benefits.
