Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to outlook, access to light and privacy
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers of the proposed dwelling, and those of Number 13 Park Lane, with particular regard to the amount of outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by infilling a significant gap and disrupting the loose-knit, spacious character of the street scene, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this harm.
