Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact of that part of the development adjacent to no.45 Wentworth Drive on the character and appearance of the area
- the impact on the living conditions of the neighbouring residents
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to character and appearance caused by the forwardmost part of the extension, which infilled the gap to the boundary, was built flush with the front wall without meaningful setback, and had eaves considerably higher than the original dwelling, outweighed the family's special accommodation needs.
The need for additional accommodation to address special family needs was outweighed by the substantial harm to character and appearance of the area caused by poor design that disregarded national and local design policies.
