Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the development upon the character and appearance of the host property and its immediate surroundings and upon the amenities of the neighbouring property at 14a Slades Hill with particular regard to any sense of enclosure
What decided it
The glazed lean-to extension's excessive depth of 8.7 m (combined rear projection of 13.7 m) far exceeds the 4 m policy limit for detached dwellings, creating a dominant and incongruous structure that harms character and appearance and causes an excessive sense of enclosure to the neighbouring property.
