Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the living conditions for the neighbouring occupiers of Nos 2 and 6 Northbourne Road with particular regard to privacy
  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host building and area

What decided it

The development results in harmful overlooking and loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers, which is not outweighed by the acceptable character and appearance of the platform itself.
