Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether there are suitable measures to manage flood risk
- the effect of the proposed two-storey extension and dormer on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- whether the proposed two-storey side extension and dormer would provide adequate living conditions for existing occupants of 80 and 82 Cecil Road, with particular regard to outlook and sense of enclosure from within the outdoor amenity area
What decided it
The proposal failed to demonstrate adequate flood risk management and would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants and to the character and appearance of the area.
the private benefit of additional accommodation was outweighed by unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions, harm to character and appearance, and undemonstrated flood risk, resulting in dismissal as proportionate and in the public interest
