Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal building and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at nos 32, 33 and 34 Wandle Road with particular regard to outlook and sense of enclosure
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to parking and whether the proposal would provide adequate contributions towards sustainable transport
What decided it
The proposal's excessive bulk and inadequate setback would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area, and would create an overbearing impact on neighbouring residential amenity, outweighing any benefits.
