Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development undertaken on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 29 Newlyn Road with particular regards to outlook and access to natural light

What decided it

The single storey rear extension is an over-sized addition that harms both the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and natural light.
