Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the Southminster Conservation Area
  • The effect of the proposed garage on the living conditions of occupants of 1 Cherry Orchard, with particular reference to overshadowing and outlook

What decided it

The proposed rear extension would be disproportionate in scale with a flat roof design that would not reflect the original building's form and would not make a positive contribution to the character of the original dwelling, contrary to Policy H4 of the Local Development Plan.
