Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings on Parsonage Road
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the living conditions for the present and future occupants of neighbouring dwellings with regard to scale and positioning, light levels and overlooking
What decided it
The scale, height and depth of the extensions in combination would be disproportionate to the host dwelling and would have an unacceptable impact on its established character and appearance and on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, particularly Grafton.
The sustainable and effective use of the dwelling to increase accommodation would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of Rylands in its setting or the harm to the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of Grafton.
