Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and host property
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 6 Belmont Close with regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would harm both the character and appearance of the area and host property through its substantial and incongruous basement extension, and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased overlooking and loss of privacy.
