Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the occupants of 27 Chestnut Avenue, with particular reference to outlook
the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed extension would have an unacceptable overbearing effect on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property due to its depth and height, combined with inadequate drawings that prevented proper assessment of its impact on character and appearance.

What the Inspector cited
