Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- Whether occupants of the host property experience satisfactory living conditions
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of adjacent occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook from, and overlooking of, 14 Ashville Road
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the extension's contrasting materials, bulk and plot coverage, combined with the failure to provide appropriate outdoor space for future residents, outweighs the limited benefit of additional accommodation.
The limited benefit of additional accommodation does not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and the failure to ensure satisfactory living conditions for future residents.
