- Biggers P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings on London Road
- Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the living conditions of present and future occupants of No 30 London Road and No 4 The Chestnuts in terms of loss of privacy and proximity and No 5 the Chestnuts in terms of proximity of the proposed garage and the first floor rear extension
What decided it
The scale, form and design of the three elements taken together would be disproportionate to the original building and detrimental to its character and appearance and that of its surroundings, and would cause unacceptable impacts on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through overbearing effects, loss of privacy and loss of light.
