Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character of the area and the street pattern
- The effect on the living conditions of neighbours in their rear gardens, particularly in respect of overlooking
What decided it
The high-quality modern design that would enhance the character of the area, combined with the ability to mitigate the overlooking concern through conditions removing the balcony and controlling the garden elevation, outweighed the initial objections.
The visual and design benefits of the well-designed modern building that would enhance the character of Lime Street were balanced against the privacy concerns of neighbouring occupiers, with the latter being addressed through conditions rather than dismissal of the appeal.
