Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development and the proposed alternative scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development and the proposed alternative scheme on the living conditions of occupiers of the appeal dwelling, with particular regard to the provision of private external amenity space
  • the effect of the development and the proposed alternative scheme on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The development causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance, fails to provide adequate private amenity space for the appeal dwelling, and the raised platform causes unacceptable privacy harm to neighbouring residents, with the proposed alternative scheme unable to address these harms.
