Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the residents of 30 Oak Way, 2 Oak Mews and 39 Normanton Road with regard to outlook and light

The building's considerable height above boundary fences makes it an intrusive and overbearing feature that detracts from the character and appearance of the area and harms the outlook of neighbouring residents.
