Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the appeal proposal upon the occupants of 275 Vale Road, with specific reference to outlook

What decided it

The material erosion of outlook from the neighbouring property at 275 Vale Road caused by the inadequate 3.6m gap between the proposed extension and the neighbouring dormer window, which would not be outweighed by the acceptable character and appearance impact.
