Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 7 Acacia Road, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The two-storey element of the proposal, due to its size, height and siting close to No. 7, would represent an unacceptably overbearing form of development in respect of outlook from windows within the rear elevation of No. 7, materially worse than the recently permitted fallback scheme.
