Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property and the visual amenity of the street scene
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at number 61 Mostyn Road in terms of the extension's potential to increase the sense of enclosure and result in a loss of light, loss of outlook and overshadow
What decided it
The proposed extension would appear as a subservient and well-mannered addition that would not cause significant harm to the architectural integrity of the host property, visual amenity of the street scene, or living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
