Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the street scene
- the living conditions of occupants of 93 Three Bridges Road, with particular reference to outlook
What decided it
The size, scale and massing of the proposed extensions would detract from the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene, and would create an unduly dominant and overbearing feature in the outlook from the neighbouring property, contrary to Policy CH3 of the Local Plan.
The benefits of more efficient land use, sustainability, and improved energy efficiency were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and street scene, and harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.
