Inspector: Bradford F

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 1 Overton Road having regard to outlook and light
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 193 Severne Road having regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposed development would result in harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, and unacceptable loss of privacy to neighbouring occupants, which together conflict with the development plan and are not outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme.

Plan policies cited: Policy PG3, Policy DM2, Policy DM10, Policy TP27
