Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with regard to noise and privacy
What decided it
The substantial height and bulk of the external staircase creates a dominant and uncharacteristic addition to the open character of the rear gardens, and the stairs would cause unacceptable noise and privacy harm to neighbouring occupiers that cannot be adequately mitigated.
