Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed ground and first floor rear extensions upon the existing building and the character and appearance of the locality
- The effect of the proposed ground and first floor rear extensions upon the living conditions of No.86 Northumberland Road, with particular regards to access to light and sense of enclosure
What decided it
The proposed extensions would remove important setbacks and create a visually bulky and disproportionate addition that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the existing building and local distinctiveness, contrary to Core Strategy Policies CS1 and CS5 and Development Management Policy DM01.
