Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the first-floor side and single storey front extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 7 Elworthy Drive, with regards to loss of light and whether there would be an overbearing impact
What decided it
The combined effect of the side and front extensions would appear overly large and not subordinate, significantly reducing the gap to the neighbouring property and disrupting the stepped front elevations and open character of the area, whilst causing loss of light and overbearing impact to the neighbouring dwelling.
