Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties
What decided it
The proposal's projection, height, and proximity to the party boundaries would materially restrict the rear-facing outlook and harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, conflicting with the development plan.
The benefits of improvements to the existing property did not outweigh the harm to neighbours' living conditions and the conflict with the development plan.
