Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, with particular regard to overshadowing, outlook, and overbearing
What decided it
The proposed extension would cause permanent and lasting harm to both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with an up-to-date development plan with no material considerations to justify a decision otherwise.
The appellant's personal circumstances and the desire for an additional bedroom were attributed moderate weight but were insufficient to outweigh the permanent and lasting harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions.
