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 26 Canonbie Road with specific regard to outlook
- Whether sufficient information has been submitted in regard to the proposed basement
What decided it
The proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area through its excessive scale and height, which would significantly reduce the visual gap between properties and create a cramped terraced effect, conflicting with development plan policies on design and character despite being acceptable in terms of neighbouring living conditions.
