Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 36 and 38 Spinnaker Drive, with regard to whether there would be an overbearing impact and increased sense of enclosure
What decided it
The asymmetrical roof design and increased bulk and height of the extension would be clearly visible from the south-east due to the site's prominence and would harm the character and appearance of the area, and the close proximity to No 36 Spinnaker Drive would result in an unacceptable overbearing impact and increased sense of enclosure.
