Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
  • The effect of the proposals on the living conditions of the residents of neighbouring dwellings with particular reference to privacy and visual impact

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy to neighbouring residents and would appear incongruous and unsightly, materially harming both the character and appearance of the host property and the living conditions of neighbours.
