Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of 228 Shooters Hill Road in respect of outlook and light
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the host building and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through loss of light and outlook, which outweighs the appellant's operational need for improved facilities.
