Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and passive ventilation

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through overdevelopment of a rear garden and would not provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers due to constrained outlook and inadequate ventilation.
