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 occupants of 318 Station Road and Flat 7, 314 Station Road with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The proposal would unduly remove the sense of symmetry of the semi-detached pair and create an unacceptable imbalance in the street scene, while simultaneously causing unacceptable harm to the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring residents.
