Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

  • Living conditions for occupiers of the appeal property, with particular regard to whether adequate private amenity space has been retained

What decided it

The extension's significant harm to both the character and appearance of the area and living conditions for neighbouring occupiers, combined with the absence of material considerations to outweigh the development plan conflict, resulted in dismissal.
