Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring terrace properties on Arlington Avenue with regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property, surrounding area and the Arlington Square Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would result in a severe loss of outlook and unacceptable levels of overshadowing to neighbouring properties at 81 and 83 Arlington Avenue, contrary to development plan policies and national guidance on amenity standards.
