Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the property and the surrounding area
- living conditions of the occupiers of 5 Seymour Road with regard to overshadowing and outlook
- living conditions of future occupiers of the appeal property with regard to internal space and privacy
What decided it
The proposed development conflicts with the development plan on three main grounds—harm to character and appearance, harm to neighbouring living conditions through overshadowing and loss of outlook, and inadequate privacy for future occupiers—and material considerations do not indicate the appeal should be decided otherwise.
