Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the residential occupiers of 51 Park Lane, with particular regard to overbearing and an unneighbourly form of development

What decided it

The proposal would be significantly overbearing and unneighbourly by virtue of its proximity, height, scale and extent of roof, resulting in a dominant feature that would harm the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers.
