Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character of the area

What decided it

The proposed first floor extension at 0.6m from the side boundary would significantly breach the SPD guidance requiring a 2m gap and would substantially harm the character and appearance of the area by disrupting the uniformity and spaciousness of the semi-detached row.
