- The effects on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to outlook and privacy
- Whether the proposal would provide a suitable standard of accommodation in terms of light, outlook, access and accessibility
- The effect of the proposal on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance and neighbours' living conditions, which resulted in conflict with the development plan and outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
