Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on living conditions of the surrounding residents with regard to noise, and future occupiers with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal's squat, bulky form with excessive width, prominent dormers, and substantial rear projection would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by conflicting with the narrow profiles and pleasing uniformity of surrounding dwellings, and this harm could not be outweighed by the minimal housing benefit of one additional flat.
