Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 50 Ditton Road with particular regard to outlook
- the character and appearance of the area
- the supply of residential accommodation in the area
What decided it
The harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook caused by the tunnelling effect of the proposed extension outweighed the absence of harm to character and appearance and the compliance with housing policy.
The harm to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the benefits of converting the building to a single family dwelling and preserving family-sized accommodation.
