Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it preserves the character or appearance of the Brick Lane and Fournier Street Conservation Area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to natural light and outlook
What decided it
The development causes both unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of natural light and outlook, which cannot be remedied by alternative materials or design modifications.
