Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the raised patio and steps upon the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- The effects of the raised patio and steps upon the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The raised patio's substantial extension beyond the pre-existing structure, combined with its bulky scale and height relative to neighbouring gardens, caused unacceptable harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through increased overlooking and loss of privacy.
