"I conclude that there would be significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area by the introduction of the proposed dwelling.  Although no harm is found in relation to the living conditions of the occupiers of No 26 with regard to outlook, this does not outweigh the harm I have identified.  Consequently, the appeal is dismissed."
