Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
- the living conditions of occupants of 24 Hill Road, with particular regard to outlook, the potential to appear overbearing and to cause a sense of enclosure and light
What decided it
The proposed extensions would cause considerable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, and would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through overbearing appearance, loss of outlook, enclosure and reduced light.
