Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Jesmond Dene Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of No. 37 Lindisfarne Close in relation to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the conservation area through its disproportionate height, extensive glazing and prominent balcony, and would cause undue loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through overlooking from the balcony.
