Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to the provision of internal space and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 87 and 91 Griffin Road, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The modest scale and careful design of the raised terrace, combined with the varied character of rear elevations in the surrounding area and the protective measures including the privacy screen, meant the development would not harm character and appearance or the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.
