Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed rear extension on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on living conditions for the occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to whether it would be overbearing or would lead to unacceptable overshadowing
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would be harmful to the character and appearance of the area and to neighbours' living conditions, conflicting with the development plan and the Framework, with no material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise.
The appellant's personal and family circumstances, including the need to provide accessible accommodation for his elderly mother, were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbours' living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy L7 of the 2012 Trafford Core Strategy
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
