Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the host property and the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regards to floor to ceiling heights within the proposed rooms
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regards to the provision of private outdoor space
- whether adequate drainage measures would be provided
- whether it would provide an adequate level of urban greening
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area caused by the bulky, cumbersome extensions with discordant roof forms and ungainly proportions outweighs the modest contribution to housing supply.
