Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to outlook, natural light, privacy, ventilation and outdoor amenity space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with regard to outlook and natural light
- the effect of the proposed roof terrace on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal fails to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers regarding outlook, natural light and outdoor amenity space, and would harm neighbouring residents' living conditions and the character and appearance of the area, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh these harms.
