Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the outbuilding on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 20 Colmer Road with regard to outlook and the availability of outdoor amenity space
- The living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance
- Highway safety
What decided it
The outbuilding's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the residential street and its overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions could not be remedied by rendering or painting and could not be outweighed by the absence of highway safety harm.
