Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjoining property, No 15 Charlotte Street
  • The overdevelopment of the property

What decided it

The proposed extension would have an unacceptable overbearing impact on the neighbouring property and result in overdevelopment of the appeal site with insufficient outdoor amenity space, contrary to the Development Plan.
