Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for its future occupiers, with regard to privacy, light, outlook and outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 14 Wyndham Road (No. 14), with regard to privacy, light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal's poor design, backland location, and failure to provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, combined with the availability of a preferable fallback permission, meant the conflict with the Development Plan could not be overcome.
