Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of no. 101a, 103 and 105 in respect of any loss of outlook and overlooking
- the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development in respect of daylighting, room size and private amenity space provision
- highway safety
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the overly dominant extensions, combined with harmful overlooking and overbearing effects on neighbouring dwellings and poor living conditions for future occupiers, outweighed the limited housing benefits.
