Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace of dwellings it forms part and the area, with particular regard to its scale and design
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to the effect upon privacy for the occupiers of No. 3 Avenue Road in respect of the proposed rear balconies
What decided it
The harmful impact of the first floor flat-roofed extension on the character and appearance of the terrace combined with the unacceptable overlooking caused by the proposed balconies to neighbouring occupiers' privacy.
