Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regards to outlook, privacy, and light
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupiers with regards to internal living space, outlook, privacy, and outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at No 8 through overbearing impact, loss of privacy, and loss of light, and would provide inadequate outdoor amenity space for future occupiers, contrary to development plan policy and the Framework.
