Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing property and on the local area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbours at Nos 7 and 8 Melville Court, Binfield Road and Nos 107 and 109 High Road, with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy
- Whether there would be satisfactory parking provision
What decided it
The material harm to character and appearance of the property and local area, combined with inadequate parking provision, could not be justified despite the absence of harm to neighbours' living conditions.
