Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring property, with particular reference to light, outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of No. 2, the terrace of which it forms part and the locality
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the amenity of neighbouring occupants through noticeable overshadowing of rear gardens during afternoon and evening hours, which outweighed any acceptable aspects of the scheme.
