Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the street scene and character of the area
  • The residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers with regard to sense of enclosure and overshadowing
  • The residential amenity of future occupiers of the proposal

What decided it

The proposal would result in a property appearing incongruous within the streetscene with increased bulk, scale and massing brought forward that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and cause unacceptable loss of amenity to neighbouring occupiers.
