Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of 85A and Flat F 87 Walm Lane, with particular regard to a) outlook and b) natural light
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for all existing and future occupants of No 87, with particular reference to external amenity space
What decided it
The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of current and future occupiers through loss of outlook, natural light and external amenity space, and would harm the character and appearance of the area, such that it conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole.
