Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 2 Thorpe Avenue, with particular regard to outlook and sunlight
What decided it
The proposal's bulk, scale and irregular form would appear as a dominant incongruous feature eroding the open character of the corner plot and would adversely affect the outlook and sunlight of neighbouring occupiers, contrary to the development plan and NPPF design requirements.

- UDP Policy GP5UDP Policy BD6CS Policy P10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
