Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring dwellings, in relation to outlook and privacy
- whether the development provides satisfactory living conditions for its occupiers, with reference to ceiling heights
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the first floor side extension, first floor rear extension and multiple front entrances, combined with the harm to neighbouring occupiers' living conditions from the ground floor rear extension, outweighs the satisfactory living conditions provided to the new occupiers.
