Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties at 116 Regents Park Road, with particular regard to outlook
  • the effect of the proposed parking provision on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development would result in unacceptable harm to character and appearance and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through its excessive height and bulk, which could not be justified by the fallback position or other material considerations.
