Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 7 Staines Road with particular regard to visual impact
What decided it
The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the host building, the semi-detached pair, and the local area by disrupting visual symmetry and closing an important townscape gap, which outweighed any benefits to the appellants' living conditions.
The benefits of providing additional living space to the appellants did not outweigh the significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and local area.
