Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No. 67 Worple Way with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The substantial bulk and scale of the proposed rear dormer extension would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and the area, which outweighed the benefits of additional accommodation.
The benefits of high quality design and additional accommodation were given some weight but were insufficient to outweigh the harm to character and appearance identified.
