Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building, the terrace, and the area, with particular regard to its scale and design
- Whether the future occupiers of proposed flat no. 1 would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to private outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposed second floor storey would harmfully contrast with the two-storey uniformity of the terrace and fail to relate well to prevailing heights, combined with the absence of any private outdoor amenity space for one of the proposed flats.
