Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the host property and the South Shoreditch Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with specific regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight, noise, and privacy
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions, particularly the compromised outlook to bedroom R2/313, the 38.6% reduction in daylight and sunlight, and the noise and privacy harm from the formalised roof terrace, were not outweighed by the modest benefits of the scheme.
