Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 3 Wordsworth Close, with particular regard to outlook and light
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for occupiers of the appeal property
What decided it
The detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area, combined with the significant and unacceptable overbearing impact on the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring property, outweighed the acceptable living conditions that would be provided to future occupiers of the appeal property.
