Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the living conditions of local residents, with particular regard to overlooking of, and the outlook from, 33 Brighton Grove
- flood risk
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area caused by the substantial bulk, mass and non-subservient design of the extensions, combined with the inadequate demonstration that flood risk matters would be suitably addressed, outweighed the limited benefits of the scheme.
