Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development undertaken on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
- The effect of the rear porch/rainshelter on the living conditions of the occupier(s) of No. 47 St Clement Street with particular regards to outlook and access to natural light
What decided it
The development harms the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, and unduly harms the outlook for the occupiers of the neighbouring property, conflicting with development plan policies which the appellant's arguments do not outweigh.
The harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring residential amenity outweighed the appellant's explanations regarding lack of awareness and functional purpose.
