Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the building on the character and appearance of the area
  • its effect on the living conditions of existing or future occupants of No.3 Gloucester Avenue having regard to outlook and external amenity space

What decided it

The building's substantial bulk and depth infilling a significant proportion of the short back garden causes unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of occupants of No.3 through loss of external amenity space.
