Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the architectural integrity of the host property, the pattern of development of which it is part and thereby the character and appearance of the surrounding area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 75 Ewhurst Road, in terms of its potential to appear over dominant and overbearing and further to appear overbearing to the occupiers of number 79 while causing a loss of outlook, overshadowing and loss of light

What decided it

The proposed side extension would cause significant harm to the architectural integrity of the host property and the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and would have a substantial overbearing impact on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at number 75.

Plan policies cited: Policy CH2, Policy CH3
