Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider street scene
  • The effects of the proposal upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 141 and 145 Upton Road, with particular regard to visual impact
