- Biggers P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the living conditions of present and future occupants of Nos 7-10 Ipswich Street as a result of overlooking and the close proximity and height of the development
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the terrace and its surroundings on Ipswich Street
What decided it
The height, mass and visual prominence of the proposed roof terrace screening would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through overlooking and overbearing impact, and would be out of character with the traditional terraced rear courtyards.
