Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area of Fleetwood Road
- Whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on the living conditions of present and future occupiers of No 142 Fleetwood Road in terms of loss of outlook and overbearing effect of the extension
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the additional deeper rear extension would be disproportionate to the original house and would materially harm both its character and appearance and the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier at No 142.
The sustainable and effective use of the dwelling and disability accommodation needs did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants.
