Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring residential properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- whether a satisfactory standard of accommodation would be provided for future occupants, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The overbearing impact of the proposed development's scale and massing on the living conditions of neighbouring residential properties, particularly the oppressive sense of enclosure it would create in their small rear garden areas, outweighed any other considerations.
