Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed extension upon the character and appearance of the locality
  • The effects of the proposed extension upon the amenities of the neighbouring occupiers at 102 Cowper Crescent with regard to the potential for any overbearing effects and loss of outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the locality by appearing as an insufficiently subservient addition with inappropriate size, scale, mass and siting that would be disrespectful of the character and setting of the existing dwelling and surrounding area, in conflict with Policies DES4 and HOU11 of the East Herts District Plan.
