Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of 45 and 49 Morland Road with particular reference to light, outlook and sense of enclosure
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular reference to the internal layout of the flats and access to external space

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and increased sense of enclosure, and would fail to provide adequate internal living space and functional layout for future occupiers of the two bedroom flat.
