Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to light and whether there would be an overbearing effect on no. 357

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly through loss of light and an overbearing effect, which could not be justified by the private benefit of providing accommodation for elderly family members.
