Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed two storey extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
- Its effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 16 Roots Lane, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed two storey extension would project forward of the principal building line as an uncharacteristic feature and create an extensive side wall of considerable depth that would have a dominant and overbearing effect on the neighbouring property's outlook, contrary to development plan policies and the Framework.
Plan policies cited: Policy D1, Policy H4
