Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of 29 and 31 St James Gardens, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The first floor side extension forming a walk-in closet would create an unduly dominant and unneighbourly feature that would harmfully affect the outlook and sense of spaciousness in the neighbouring gardens at 29 and 31 St James Gardens.
