Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of 85 Westcombe Hill in respect of outlook, light and privacy
What decided it
The serious harm to character and appearance combined with unacceptable loss of outlook, light and privacy to neighbouring occupants outweighed the appellant's personal circumstances and policy encouragement for efficient use of urban land.
