Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
  • the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of adjoining users at 40 Hillview Road

What decided it

The proposal's extensive flat-roofed rear extension would be of inappropriate scale and form, significantly detract from the character and appearance of the area, and create an unacceptable overbearing impact on the neighbouring property at No.40, conflicting with Policy A9 of the City Plan.
