Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the developments on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- Whether the developments would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to floorspace (for Appeal A) and ceiling heights (for both appeals)
- The effects on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties in terms of outlook and access to light (for appeal A only) and noise and privacy (for both appeals)
What decided it
Both proposals would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and locality by disrupting the uniformity of the terrace's rear projections, which harm was not outweighed by the modest benefits of providing a single additional residential unit.
