Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
- the living conditions of the residents of 115 Cambridge Road with particular reference to light and visual impact
What decided it
The closure of the distinguishing gap between the properties at first floor and roof level would create a terracing effect that would significantly harm the character and appearance of the locality and create an oppressive visual impact on the neighbours' living conditions.
