Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 133 Grenville Avenue with regards to outlook and overshadowing
  • Whether the proposed development adequately deals with surface water run-off

What decided it

The excessive scale and footprint of the building, combined with its harmful visual impact on the character of the area and its oppressive overshadowing effect on the neighbouring property, together with inadequate surface water drainage assessment, justify dismissal.
