Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook, light, outdoor amenity space, and bicycle and waste storage
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The cumulative effect of poor daylight and sunlight, oppressive outlook, inadequate outdoor amenity space, and the incongruous introduction of a dwelling into a rear yard location contrary to the established character of the urban terrace.
