Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 8 Avenue Villas, with particular reference to a loss of light
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area through its incongruous design that conflicts with the established building line and cohesive appearance of the row of dwellings, and this harm could not be justified by the personal circumstances of the family members.
