Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Myrdle Street Conservation Area
- Whether or not there is adequate cycle facilities on site to support the development
- The impact of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regards to outlook, light levels, overlooking and a loss of privacy
What decided it
The siting, scale and massing of the proposed extension would not preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Myrdle Street Conservation Area, and the identified public benefits did not outweigh this harm.
