Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building, having particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the amenity of the occupiers of neighbouring premises, having particular regard to noise and disturbance and the effect on the outlook of the occupiers of No 84
What decided it
The material harm to the amenity of neighbouring occupiers from increased noise and disturbance and the adverse effect on outlook from the increased height and proximity of the building to No 84 outweighed the acceptable external appearance.
