Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on (a) the character and appearance of the area; and (b) the living conditions of the occupiers of No 116 Wood Lane with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous scale and massing within the spacious rear garden setting, which conflicts with development plan policies requiring high-quality design that reflects and strengthens local character.
