Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the extensions on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
The effect of the rear extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to privacy, outlook and natural light
The effect of the extensions on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area

What decided it

The development causes unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise and disturbance, loss of outlook and natural light, and harm to character and appearance, which cannot be adequately mitigated through conditions and outweighs economic benefits.
