Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions enjoyed by existing and future occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook
- Whether the period specified for complying with the requirements of the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The extensions cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance through their incompatible design, scale and form, conflicting with the Development Plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.
Plan policies cited: Policy 8, Policy 6, Policy 37
