Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • the effect that the proposed development would have on the living conditions of the nearby occupiers, regarding privacy, daylight and sunlight, outlook, and noise and disturbance
  • the effect that the proposed development would have on highway safety in the nearby roads

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area by introducing a bland, bulky, discordant addition that would fail to respect the distinctive architectural character of the appeal building and would be unacceptably incongruous and dominating in relation to the surrounding suburban context.
