Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the wider area
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 58 Central Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area caused by the overly dominant ground floor element, to which substantial weight was afforded given the importance of good design in planning policy, outweighed the limited private benefits to the appellant.
The private benefits of additional living accommodation and homeworking space were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area.
