Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed two-storey side and part first floor rear extension on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the area
- its effect on the living conditions of the existing occupier of the adjoining house at Chenies, having particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The extension would appear as a facsimile of a separate house rather than a subservient addition, causing significant harm to character and appearance, and would create an overbearing and visually intrusive impact on the neighbouring property's outlook and amenity.
