Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of residents of surrounding dwellings with regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposal would introduce significant additional bulk and built form that would read as visually overwhelming and dominant, failing to respect the character and proportions of the dwellings and creating an undue sense of enclosure and overbearing impact on neighbouring residents' outlook.
