Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the appeal property
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties and future residents of the appeal property
- highway safety, with particular regards to on-street car parking
What decided it
The substantial rear extension would appear as a prominent and incongruous feature harming character and appearance, and would fail to provide adequate living conditions for future residents whilst harming those of neighbouring properties.
