Inspector: Robbie G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
The living conditions of occupiers of 7 Loweswater Avenue, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The material harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area caused by the incongruous two-storey rear extension, combined with the harmful loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through intensified overlooking, which together outweighed the limited private and public benefits of the proposal.

Plan policies cited: DM20, CS15, DM23

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
