Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact on the character and appearance of the local area
- The living conditions of the future occupants by way of outlook, sense of enclosure, light levels and whether the bedroom sizes and external spaces are adequate
What decided it
The lightwells and their safety railings would introduce an uncharacteristic and visually obtrusive feature to the street scene, and the basement flats would not safeguard adequate living conditions for future occupants in terms of outlook, light, bedroom sizes, and amenity space.
