The proposed additional storey would create an overbearing, jarring, and incongruous feature that results in significant overshadowing and a loss of daylight for adjacent residential properties, particularly failing to respect the low-rise character of the surrounding established neighborhood.

• The transition between the proposed four-storey building and the surrounding single and two-storey dwellings is considered too abrupt and jarring, failing to respect the massing and character required by Objective DMSO31.
• The proximity and height of the additional floor would have an unacceptable overbearing impact on the property at No. 92 Binn Eadair View, especially regarding its rear conservatory and private amenity space.
• Technical assessment of daylight and sunlight indicates that several neighboring windows would experience a reduction in Vertical Sky Component (VSC) below BRE recommended levels, and the provision of four extra units does not outweigh the resulting loss of residential amenity.
