Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect on the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring property at 6 Halstone Avenue, with regard to privacy

The combination of harm to character and appearance through excessive scale and massing, and unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through direct overlooking, outweighed any benefits of the proposal.
