Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 7 and 11 Beckman Road, with regard to outlook and loss of light
- whether the proposals would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupiers of the host property, with regard to outlook from proposed windows
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to parking arrangements
What decided it
The harmful impact of the prominent front extension with its uncharacteristic powder-coated aluminium curtain walling on the character and appearance of the host property and the area was decisive in dismissing the appeal.
