Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 27 Howick Drive, with particular regard to daylight, sunlight and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would cause appreciable harm to the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area through loss of symmetry and uniformity, and would cause harm to neighbouring living conditions through overbearing effect and reduction in daylight and sunlight, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify approval.

Development plan policies
Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan (ACS)Policy DE1 of the Land and Planning Policies - Local Plan Part 2 (LAPP)Policy DE2 of the Land and Planning Policies - Local Plan Part 2 (LAPP)
