Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 19 Pemberton Crescent in respect of their outlook and privacy
What decided it
The substantial size and proximity of the proposed extension would significantly alter the character and appearance of the area by removing the characteristic openness between corner plot houses, and would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing impact, loss of outlook, and unacceptable overlooking.

- Policy DC1Policy CS5Middlesbrough Core Strategy (February 2008)
