Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development as built on the character and appearance of the Sutherland Grove conservation area
  • The living conditions of the basement flat at the host property
  • The living conditions of the adjoining properties

What decided it

The boundary wall adjacent to No. 76 Skeena Hill causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and negatively impacts the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, outweighing the modest public benefits of the scheme.
