Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of 198 Crackenedge Lane, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, sunlight and daylight
  • Highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision and bin storage

What decided it

The harmful effect of the front dormer window and double garage on the character and appearance of the area, combined with the adverse impact of the single-storey rear extension on the daylight and sunlight to the neighbouring property, outweighed any neutral or positive aspects of the proposal.
