Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the single-storey side extension and boundary wall on the living conditions of the occupiers of 87A/87B Malvern Road, with regard to light, outlook, and whether it would be overbearing or create a sense of enclosure
  • the effect of the first-floor balcony on the living conditions of the occupiers of 89 Malvern Road, with regard to privacy and overlooking
  • the effect of the first-floor balcony on the character and appearance of the dwelling, and the surrounding area

What decided it

The single-storey side extension and boundary wall would cause unmitigated harm to the living conditions of the occupiers of 87A/87B Malvern Road with regard to light, outlook, overbearing effect, and enclosure, which could not be outweighed by the acceptable aspects of the proposal.
