Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the neighbouring residents at No 135 Southend Lane with regard to outlook and whether there would be an overbearing sense of enclosure
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area resulting from the overly dominant design and incongruous bulk of the extension, particularly when combined with the existing roof conversion, outweighed the lack of harm to neighbouring living conditions and the private benefit of an additional bathroom.
The lack of harm to neighbouring living conditions did not outweigh the harm identified to the character and appearance of the area.
