Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the appeal development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and overshadowing for 91 and 95 Denbigh Road
- whether the appeal development makes appropriate provision for sustainable design, including biodiversity
What decided it
The appeal development causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, which outweighs any other considerations and justifies enforcement action, though the notice was varied to allow an alternative compliant scheme.
