Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 5 Mortimer Gate, with regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The unacceptable harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, particularly the complex wraparound roof form and substantive bulk added to the original built form in a highly prominent location, outweighed the finding that living conditions of neighbours would not be materially harmed.
