Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of 19 Samson Street and future occupiers of the proposed rear single storey dwelling, with particular regard to privacy and noise
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the access arrangements for the proposed rear single storey dwelling would be appropriate, with regard to safety and legibility
What decided it
The harm caused to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers through overlooking from the proposed rear balcony, which could not be adequately mitigated, outweighed the acceptable aspects of the proposal.
