Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property, the terrace of which it forms part and the wider area
  • The living conditions of neighbouring residents, with particular reference to outlook, access to daylight and sunlight, and privacy

What decided it

The cumulative effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the locally distinctive Becontree Estate terrace, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions through overbearing impact and loss of privacy, outweighed the appellant's need for additional accommodation.
