Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, with reference to the setting of Sherborne House
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers within Icon Apartments (15 Cluny Place), with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to both the setting of the non-designated heritage asset Sherborne House and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through an overbearing sense of enclosure and poor outlook, which outweighed the limited benefits of improving the appellant's own living space.
