Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 135 and 139 with particular regard to light, outlook, visual impact, and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposals would cause significant harm to character and appearance by resulting in the first-floor front window being set back and partly concealed by a parapet wall, which would unduly disrupt the fenestration pattern and spoil the host building's appearance.
The absence of material harm to neighbouring living conditions did not outweigh the significant harm identified to character and appearance.
