Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the house and the local area, including the setting of the Bedfont Green Conservation Area
  • living conditions at the next door property 3 East Road in terms of the impact on outlook from that property

What decided it

The extension's low height, rear position, and limited visibility, combined with the wide unobstructed outlook otherwise enjoyed by the neighbouring property, meant that the proposal did not cause unacceptable harm to character, appearance, or living conditions despite exceeding the Council's supplementary guidance.

The proposal's limited visual impact and acceptable effect on neighbouring outlook outweighed the conflict with the specific depth guidance in the Residential Extension Guidelines, striking a balance between protecting neighbours' interests and meeting the applicant's reasonable expectations for increased accommodation.
