Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of No. 31 Shaftesbury Avenue with particular reference to light and sense of enclosure

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area caused by the extension's excessive depth, width, height, scale and massing, which would not be a subservient addition to the original house, outweighed the neutral finding regarding living conditions of neighbours.
