Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 148 Tankerville Drive with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The proposed extension would integrate satisfactorily with the host dwelling and would not result in material harm to character and appearance or living conditions of neighbours, as it would replace existing buildings of comparable scale and would be appropriately set back from the shared boundary.
The significant size and scale of the extension was outweighed by its subservient design, lower height, appropriate setback from the boundary, and replacement of existing buildings, resulting in no material harm to character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
