Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed basement would provide satisfactory living conditions for occupiers in terms of outlook (Appeal A only)
- The effects on the character and appearance of the area (both appeals)
- Whether the proposals would be in a suitable location having regard to LP policies and the development already on the site (both appeals)
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by gardens significantly larger than the permitted curtilage and, for Appeal B, the disproportionate extension conflicting with LP policies BE4 and H14, outweighed the moderate benefits of the schemes.
Plan policies cited: Policy H1, Policy BE3, Policy BE4, Policy H14
