Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 69 Grimsby Road, with particular regard to outlook
  • The private rear garden space of the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling

What decided it

The proposal would create an incongruous and prominent feature in the street scene with harmful effects on character and appearance, unacceptable overbearing impacts on neighbouring living conditions, and inadequate private amenity space for future occupiers.
