Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the non-designated heritage asset
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, 44 Robin Hood Road, with reference to outlook and sunlight

What decided it

The development's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the non-designated heritage asset, combined with the overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions, outweighs any benefits claimed by the appellant.
