Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the surrounding area and on the setting of the nearby Beck Road Conservation Area
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of the appeal property, with particular regard to private amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to natural light and privacy
- the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable effect on the living conditions of neighbouring properties due to overlooking and privacy concerns from the first-floor glazed opening and potential future use of the flat roof as amenity space, and would fail to demonstrate net biodiversity gain.
