Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed fence and gates on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, Green Trees, with particular reference to light, outlook and privacy
What decided it
The proposed first floor bedroom window on the rear extension would cause material harm to the privacy of the neighbouring occupiers of Green Trees through unacceptable overlooking, which could not be adequately mitigated by obscure glazing.
