Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
- the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at 47 Cassiobury Park Avenue with regard to sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The proposed rear dormer and side extension would cause significant harm to both the character and appearance of the dwelling and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, contrary to development plan policies.
The benefits of optimising the site's potential and making efficient use of land, as promoted by national policy, were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy UD1, Policy SS1
