Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 48 Adams Row with regards to outlook
  • the standard of residential accommodation with respect to amenity space

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the outlook from the skylight at 48 Adams Row caused by the loss of the gap in the boundary wall and the imposing presence of the extended building, which conflicts with Policies 7 and 38(C) of the City Plan and cannot be outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme.
