Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, its semi pair and the wider area
- The effect on the living conditions of occupants of 6 Southern Avenue with regard to outlook and, in relation to the first floor roof terrace, on the living conditions of occupants of 6 and 10 Southern Avenue with regard to noise and disturbance and privacy
What decided it
The scale, bulk, massing and design of the rear elements, particularly the raised deck, basement, high brick walls and roof terrace, significantly harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area, and cause unacceptable living conditions for neighbours through loss of outlook, privacy and potential noise and disturbance.
