Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of Nos 215 and 219 Edgwarebury Lane in terms of outlook and privacy

What decided it

The excessive width, scale and size of the first floor rear extension with a flat roof, combined with existing extensions, causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area and to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers at No 219, which cannot be justified by material considerations.
