Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the replacement dwelling on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of adjacent residential properties

What decided it

The scale, bulk and siting of the proposed dwelling would dominate the local street scene, harm the setting of the Conservation Area, and materially harm the living conditions of adjacent residents through loss of light, overbearing impact and overlooking, which was not outweighed by the benefit of replacing the fire-damaged property.
