Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
  • whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupants of basement Flat B, with particular regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The development would harm the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area through the design of the basement extension and lightwells, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for basement flat occupants due to inadequate outlook and privacy.
