Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 155 and 159 Boundary Road with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • the biodiversity value of the site

What decided it

The full-width ground floor addition is an entirely incongruous and disproportionate element that has an unacceptable effect on character and appearance, and its height and bulk severely enclose neighbouring gardens resulting in unacceptable loss of outlook.
