Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No 1 Shrubbery Gardens, with regard to sunlight, daylight and outlook
- The effect of the proposed development on nearby trees
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area and would not provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, which could not be outweighed by the limited benefits of the small-scale scheme.
