Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, with particular regard to the first-floor rear extension
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of 33 Holly Park Gardens, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed first-floor rear extension, by virtue of its full width, matching ridge level, and overall scale and massing, would fail to appear as a subordinate addition and would be unsympathetic to the original property's character and appearance, contrary to development plan policies on design quality.
