Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing property and wider terrace
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 20 and 24 Napier Road, having particular regard to outlook, light and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the refuse facilities of Joiners Mews
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers with respect to the quality of the internal space and the provision of outdoor space
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to character and appearance, the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overlooking and privacy loss, and would fail to provide adequate internal ceiling heights and external amenity space for future residents.
