Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- the living conditions of occupants of 21 Hunters Square, with particular reference to outlook and access to daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The proposal would create an unacceptably overbearing addition that would dominate the outlook of the neighbouring property and have the potential to reduce access to light and cause overshadowing, whilst also detracting from the character and appearance of the original dwelling through its disproportionate scale and sprawling layout.
