Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 82 Cedar Lawn Avenue, with regard to outlook
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers, with regard to light and outlook
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The significant adverse harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 82 Cedar Lawn Avenue with regard to outlook, caused by the imposing and overbearing nature of the proposed built form, outweighed the moderate benefits of providing additional housing.
