Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed side and rear extensions upon the existing building and the character and appearance of the locality
  • The effect of the proposed side and rear extensions upon the living conditions of No.47 Cavendish Avenue, with particular regard to access to light, and sense of enclosure

What decided it

The proposed side and rear extensions would erode visual gaps and create an overbearing appearance that would be detrimental to both the character and appearance of the locality and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, contrary to local design policies.

Plan policies cited: CS1(B), DM1, DM1 A, DM1 B(a), DM1 B(b), DM1 B(c), D3, D3(D(1)), D3(D(11)), D3.D(7)
