Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene
  • Whether or not the proposal would harm the living conditions of the adjacent occupants by virtue of overlooking and loss of privacy, and whether or not the proposal would compromise the living conditions of the future occupants as a result of the amount of private amenity space
  • Whether or not the proposal would lead to a pedestrian and highway safety issue

What decided it

The proposal's detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the street scene combined with inadequate separation distances causing overlooking and loss of privacy to both existing and future occupants outweighed any benefits.
