Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for its occupiers with particular regard to storage, outlook and natural light
- whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for the occupiers of 58 Leyton Park Road with regard to outlook and enclosure
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance through reduction of rear garden areas and the inadequate outlook and natural light for potential future bedroom occupiers outweighed any other considerations.
