Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the single storey rear extension on the character and appearance of the area
- The effects of the single storey rear extension on living conditions of the occupiers of 96 and 100 Westrow Drive, with regard to outlook, privacy and light
What decided it
The single-storey rear extension's disproportionate height causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area and materially harms the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, conflicting with the development plan and the Framework's design objectives.
