Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of 74a Flixton Road with regard to outlook and light
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 2 Roseneath Road with regard to privacy
- the living conditions of future occupiers of 74a and 76a Flixton Road and existing occupiers of other neighbouring properties with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the scale, massing and prominence of the extension, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers regarding outlook and light, were the overriding considerations that outweighed the moderate benefits of the development.
