Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties on Marlow Road, having regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The considerable depth and bulk of the side extension adjacent to the common boundary would be cramped and domineering, detrimentally eroding the spacious quality of the area and causing significant overbearing impact and loss of outlook to neighbouring residents.
The benefits of more efficient land use and lack of neighbour objection were outweighed by the significant and permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
