Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the existing and future occupiers of Flats 4 and 8 with regards to outlook, sunlight and/or daylight
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regards to privacy
- Whether the development provides adequate parking facilities for cars and cycles and adequate refuse storage
What decided it
The height, mass and scale of the building as constructed, with the additional mezzanine floor creating a visually dominant and incongruous form that harms the character and appearance of the surrounding area, combined with inadequate daylight, sunlight and outlook for Flat 4 occupiers, means the development conflicts with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
