Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupants, with specific regard to ventilation
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants and the significance of the Ladywell Conservation Area, with specific regard to the structural integrity of the host property, No. 2 Algiers Road, and the adjacent property, No. 4 Algiers Road
What decided it
The proposed basement extension would fail to provide sufficient natural ventilation to the basement space, resulting in harmful living conditions for future occupants, which conflicts with the development plan and cannot be remedied by condition.
