Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed single storey side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the adjoining terrace and the surrounding area, including the street scene and the Becontree Estate
- The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of occupiers of 152 Wood Lane with respect to privacy and visual intrusion
What decided it
The combination of the extension's poor design and disproportionate width materially detracting from the character and heritage significance of the Becontree Estate, together with the material loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through overlooking, rendered the proposal unacceptable.
