Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 43 Highfield Drive with regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposal would detract from the character and appearance of the area through its bulky and prominent appearance in the street scene, and would unacceptably harm the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring property through overbearing impact and loss of outlook.
