Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
- the effect of the extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier at 24 Selwyn Drive as regards outlook
What decided it
The extension causes significant harm to both the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area, and to neighbouring outlook, in conflict with the development plan and Framework design principles, with no material considerations outweighing this finding.
The benefits of additional space for the appellant's son and the sustainable location do not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance and neighbouring outlook.
