Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
- The effect of the proposal on the amenity of residents of 5 Windermere Drive with regards to outlook and light
- Whether sufficient evidence has been provided with regards to the management of the construction of the development
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse through its incongruous scale and massing within the suburban streetscape, and would result in unacceptable harm to the amenity of neighbouring residents through overbearing impact and loss of light.
