Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of the appeal site, with specific reference to outlook and external amenity
  • Whether adequate off-street parking would be provided, in the interests of highway safety

What decided it

The scale, form and massing of the extension would unbalance the terrace's symmetry, overdevelop the site, provide inadequate amenity space and outlook for future occupants, and result in non-compliant parking that could displace vehicles onto the public highway.
