Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on housing need
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No's 3 and 7 Cartwright Street, Tower Hamlets, London with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed single-storey rear extension would harm both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing massing and restricted outlook, while the loss of family housing was not justified by demonstrated need for HMO accommodation.
