Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 18 Hartfield Close and Nos. 4, 6 and 8 Pen Way, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposed house extensions would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene through their excessive height, mass and prominence, outweighing any benefits to the appellant, whereas the garage roof alterations would improve the site's appearance.
