Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- the living conditions for the occupiers of Nos 11 and 15 Alfred Gardens, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The development conflicts with the development plan by causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.
The appellants' personal circumstances regarding family medical needs were weighed against the planning harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, but the public interest in protecting the area's character and neighbours' amenity was given greater weight.
