Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the appeal property and the neighbouring residents at No 19 Highfield Road with regard to outlook, light and privacy
- the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The harmful loss of outlook available to the first floor windows at both the appeal property and the neighbouring property at No 19 resulting from the tunnelling effect of the combined extensions outweighed any benefits of the development.
The lack of conflict with character and appearance policies did not outweigh the harm identified to living conditions with regard to loss of outlook.
