Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of future residents of this property with regard to outdoor amenity space
- The effect on the living conditions of the future residents of the neighbouring approved property with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The poor design quality and loss of distinctive architectural features of the original inter-war dwelling, resulting in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of this prominent corner location, outweighed the benefits of renovation and improved thermal efficiency.
