Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for its future occupiers, with particular regard to light, ventilation, privacy and external amenity space provision
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to light, outlook, privacy and noise
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal failed to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to inadequate light and ventilation in the first floor flat, and would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions through overbearing impact and overshadowing, combined with detrimental effects on local character and appearance.
