Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the altered and extended outbuilding on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the altered and extended outbuilding on the living conditions for the occupiers of 9 and 13 St Lawrence Road and 9 Howard Road, with particular regard to outlook
- The effect of the altered and extended outbuilding on the living conditions for the occupiers of 9 and 13 St Lawrence Road, with particular regard to privacy
- The effect of the proposed single storey rear extension on the living conditions for the occupiers of 13 St Lawrence Road, with particular regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The excessive height, size and scale of the altered outbuilding made it visually dominant and discordant, failing to remain subordinate to the dwelling and causing unacceptable harm to character and neighbouring amenity, whereas the single storey rear extension was proportionate and acceptable.
