Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the street scene within Lidgett Lane
- The living conditions of the occupiers of No 3 Roper Lane with particular reference to outlook and shadowing effects of the garden
- The living conditions of the future occupiers of the proposed dwelling with particular reference to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The forward positioning of the new dwelling toward the footway would erode the open qualities of the street scene and appear an overtly imposing building that fails to harmonise with the spatial pattern of houses, combined with unacceptable harm to the outlook and enjoyment of the rear garden of the neighbouring property.
