Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupants of 8 Horn Park Lane, with specific regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The proposal would harmfully erode the uniform pattern of development by removing the visual gap between dwellings and would create an unbalanced sense of overlooking that harms the privacy of neighbouring occupants.
