Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area, with particular regard to its effect on the setting of Sneyd Park Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 24 Old Sneed Avenue
What decided it
The proposal's removal of the catslide roof element and introduction of a visually dominant extension would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area's setting, and the proximity and height of the side extension would cause unacceptable overshadowing and loss of outlook to the neighbouring property.
