Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regards to the privacy of the occupiers of 7 and 11 Kewferry Drive
What decided it
The significant scale of the proposed extensions and the resulting bulky roof design, combined with the privacy harm from the elevated balcony with open views towards neighbouring properties, were contrary to local plan policies on design quality and living conditions.
Plan policies cited: Policy BE1, Policy DMHB 11, Policy DMHB 12, Policy DMHD1
