Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on external appearance of the building
  • the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and the loss of light

What decided it

The proposed fourth floor would create an unduly bulky and dominant external appearance that would unacceptably alter the spacious character of the area, being one storey taller than the fall-back scheme and three storeys taller than nearby two-storey dwellings.
