Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to overbearing, outlook, loss of light and privacy
- the living conditions of the future occupiers of the development with particular regard to access, the provision of internal and external living space, outlook, light, and privacy
What decided it
The development would cause significant and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area and would result in substandard living conditions for both neighbouring and future occupiers that cannot be outweighed by the limited housing benefit of four units.
