Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.6 Upper Lattimore Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The significant increase in the height of the side flank wall facing No.6 would create a dominant, overbearing and intrusive tall blank wall in close proximity to the neighbouring property's rear-facing windows, materially harming the outlook and living conditions of its occupiers.

Policy 72
