Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
  • the safety of pedestrians using Dodbrooke Road
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of No 17 Dodbrooke Road with particular reference to daylight and outlook

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, combined with unresolved concerns about pedestrian safety on Dodbrooke Road, were not outweighed by the benefits of additional living accommodation and sustainable design credentials.
