Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.1 Duke Street North, with particular regard to outlook and light
- highway and pedestrian safety, with particular regard to whether the proposed development would provide adequate off-street parking
What decided it
The proposed extension's scale, bulk and massing would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, which could not be justified by the limited benefits of the scheme.
