Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed new dwelling would provide for satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to privacy
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 145 and 147 Stokes Road with particular regard to outlook, daylight and external amenity space
What decided it
The proposal's failure to respect the character and appearance of the area, combined with unacceptable privacy standards for future occupiers and harmful effects on neighbouring amenity, particularly at 145 Stokes Road, outweighed the limited benefits of adding a single dwelling.
