Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 168 Albert Road with regard to outlook and light
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
- whether the personal circumstances of the appellant would outweigh any harm in respect of the proposed development
What decided it
The considerable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of daylight and outlook, combined with unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area, could not be outweighed by the limited weight attributed to the appellant's personal circumstances.
