Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property and the area, with particular regard to its siting, scale, and design
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed development's three-storey scale, massing, and bulk across the entire rear elevation would be significantly increased compared to neighbouring properties and would unacceptably harm both the character and appearance of the area and the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at No. 89 Birkbeck Road.
