Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties with regard to privacy and outlook
  • whether the development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupants in regard to daylight

What decided it

The proposal would have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, which is not outweighed by the housing and economic benefits.
