Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring property
What decided it
The proposal's poor design quality and massive scale failed to respect the character of the host dwelling and surrounding area, and it would cause unacceptable adverse impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing and overshadowing effects.
