Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwellings, with particular regard to visual impact, daylight, sunlight and privacy

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene through disruption of uniformity and spaciousness, and would cause material harm to the living conditions of the adjacent occupiers through overbearing visual impact and overshadowing.

The harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions outweighed the benefits for the appellants and their family from upgraded and additional accommodation.
