Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the existing occupiers of 25 and 29 Geneva Gardens, with particular regard to outlook, privacy, daylight and overshadowing
What decided it
The excessive height and bulk of the outbuilding with its tall ridged roof and large gable window creates an excessively tall, obtrusive, and overbearing feature that significantly harms both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook and privacy.
