Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the setting to the host dwelling, the street scene and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.6 and No.42, with particular regard to visual impact and privacy

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the street scene and materially detract from the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing visual impact and loss of privacy, with no conditions capable of satisfactorily addressing these compelling reasons for refusal.
