Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling, number 105 Chester Road, with particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The additional height, depth and mass of the solid extension compared to the lightweight conservatory it replaced, combined with the pitched roof being nearly 1m higher than the previous flat roof, tips the balance to cause significant harm to the outlook and living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent property at 105 Chester Road.

Plan policies cited: SOC5, DM2, DM21
