Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the building, with particular regard to daylight and outlook
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to light and outlook
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The inadequate living conditions for future occupiers, particularly regarding daylight and outlook from bedrooms facing the adjacent Swan Centre, constituted harm of great weight that outweighed the modest benefits of the scheme.
