Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with respect to outlook and light
- The design of the proposed rear extension and its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The use of black timber cladding on the extension would stand in sharp contrast to the existing stock brickwork of the parent building and wider terrace, creating a visually jarring and anomalous addition that would harm the character and appearance of the area in conflict with the development plan.
