Core Refusal Reason
The proposed mews house would cause serious injury to residential amenities due to its overbearing physical presence, overshadowing, and failure to provide adequate privacy for both existing and future residents.

- The building's proximity to No. 16 Fairview Avenue Lower would result in severe overbearing and overshadowing impacts and a significant loss of aspect for the existing property.
- First-floor windows would cause unacceptable overlooking of adjoining properties, as the proposed vertical louvres are considered insufficient to protect the privacy of neighbors.
- The proposed private open space would be subject to intrusive overlooking from the original dwelling, failing to provide a suitable level of residential amenity or privacy for future occupants.
