Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 151A Streatham Road, with particular regard to outlook and sunlight
What decided it
The proposed development would harm the character and appearance of the area through its dominant and incongruous design, position, bulk and massing in a prominent raised position, which was not outweighed by any material considerations.
