Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by introducing an incongruous three-storey backland building, combined with the harmful impact on neighbouring occupiers' living conditions, outweighed the acceptable living conditions for future occupiers.
