Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of No 6 and 8 Croft Terrace with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The harmful visual effect from the overly dominant and disproportionate scale and massing of the two-storey component, visible from neighbouring rear gardens, outweighed the appellant's personal accommodation needs and the absence of other planning objections.
The appellant's need for increased accommodation and the lack of harm in relation to other considerations did not outweigh the harm identified to the character and appearance of the area.
