Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwellings at 3, 4 and 5 Bernard Close, with particular regard to whether the development would appear overbearing and light levels
- The effect on the streetscene and the character and appearance of the locality
What decided it
The proposed two storey extension would be unduly close to neighbouring properties and would appear overbearing and unacceptably reduce light levels, causing unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupiers of adjacent dwellings.
