Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of Number 8 Bowes Road, with regards to outlook and sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The proposed development would severely harm the character and appearance of the Becontree Estate by eroding the important gap between terraces and appearing cramped and overly bulky, and would simultaneously harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact and loss of light.
