Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Living conditions for neighbouring occupiers of Nos 182 and 186 Parchmore Road, with particular regard to overshadowing and loss of privacy

What decided it

The extension's bulk, massing, detailed design and poor visual relationship to the original property, combined with its harmful effects on neighbours' privacy and overshadowing, caused material harm that conflicted with the development plan and could not be justified by the permission granted at the neighbouring property.
