Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the existing building and the character and appearance of the locality
- The living conditions of No. 27 and No.31 Longfield Avenue, with particular regard to access to light and visual appearance
What decided it
The proposed extensions and boundary treatments would be incongruous in design, massing and visual bulk, causing detriment to the character and appearance of the Area of Special Character and the functional architectural authenticity of the dwelling and street scene, contrary to Policies DP2 and DP7.
