Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the as built dwelling on the character and appearance of the street-scene and immediate locality
- The impact of the as built dwelling on the living conditions of neighbouring properties
- For the hardstanding driveway, the effect on drainage
What decided it
The excessive bulk and massing of the as-built roof and enlarged first floor section, causing unacceptable harm to the street-scene character and to neighbours' outlook and living conditions.
Local support for retaining the dwelling as built did not outweigh the identified harm to character, appearance and neighbours' living conditions.
