Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions to the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings, with particular regard to the effects of outlook and overlooking to 26A Wallcote Avenue
  • Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light and the internal head height of the proposed dwelling

What decided it

The combination of harm to character and appearance, unacceptable effect on neighbouring outlook, and failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers due to poor outlook, light, and substandard floor-to-ceiling heights.
