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 occupiers of 15 Wesley Road, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The substantial increase in height and massing would unduly dominate the street scene and harm character and appearance, whilst the elevated extended rear area would considerably exacerbate overlooking of the neighbouring property's garden.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
