Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area, with particular regard to the three-storey rear extension
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers of the first and second floor flats, with particular regard to outlook and aspect
What decided it
The proposed three-storey rear extension would remove the existing visual gap and transition between the host building and the adjoining four-storey building, resulting in considerable harmful bulk and massing to the character and appearance of the area, combined with inadequate living conditions for the single aspect Flat 1B.
