Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the various extensions on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the extensions and the swing on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, having regard to privacy and outlook

What decided it

The combination of the rear extension and outbuilding together causes unacceptable harm to character, appearance and neighbouring living conditions through loss of openness and outlook, whereas the extension alone is acceptable and the porch causes no harm.
