Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties (Nos 81, 83 and 85 Lansdowne Road) with particular regard to outlook and privacy, the occupiers of neighbouring flats located in 79B Lansdowne Road with regard to outlook, sunlight and daylight and the occupiers of the first floor flats within the host building in terms of external amenity area and light
- whether suitable provision for refuse facilities and cycle parking is made
What decided it
The proposal's height and scale in the backland location would be visually incongruous with the subservient character of nearby development and would significantly harm the daylight and outlook of neighbouring occupiers.
