Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • effect of the proposal on the occupiers of flats 1 and 4, 1 Elgin Road, with specific regard to daylight and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would have unacceptable impacts on both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of existing flat occupiers through loss of daylight and outlook, conflicting with the development plan.
