Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 12 and 14a Thornhill Park Avenue with particular reference to daylight and privacy
What decided it
The substantial harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly the unacceptable loss of daylight to No 12, could not be justified by the material consideration of redevelopment necessity.
