Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to outlook, light and external space
What decided it
The design incompatibility with the street's roofscape and fenestration patterns, combined with unacceptable living conditions for units 3 and 4 due to enclosure and light deprivation, outweighed the limited housing delivery benefit.
The considerable harm to character and appearance and unacceptable living conditions for future occupants outweighed the limited benefit of housing delivery and neutral matters.
