Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to outlook
- whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided for future occupants, with particular regard to outlook and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The prominent siting of the dwelling forward of the established building line, creating an overbearing loss of outlook to neighbouring properties, combined with harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area, outweighed any benefits of the contemporary design and high-quality materials.
