Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No's 4 and 5 Solent View and No.36 Clowes Avenue with particular regard to outlook, privacy and sunlight
What decided it
The increased height and scale of the proposed dwelling, combined with its contemporary flat roof design, would be in stark contrast to neighbouring properties and would result in material harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
