Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on neighbouring occupiers of 96 Tilehurst Road, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of the host dwelling through loss of outlook and sunlight to the kitchen window, which would not be outweighed by any benefits.
