Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 127 Windmill Road, with particular regard to outlook and light
  • Whether the proposal would provide for a satisfactory standard of accommodation for occupiers of the rear ground floor flat, with regard to light

What decided it

The bulk and massing of the first floor extension would be out of keeping with the host property and wider area, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance, and would result in an unacceptable overbearing impact and reduction in light and outlook to neighbouring occupiers.
