Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to internal living space, outlook and privacy
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 12 Burdett Road and 14 Burdett Road with regard to outlook
What decided it
The substantial harm to privacy of future occupiers and to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at 12 and 14 Burdett Road significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate housing supply benefits.
