Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing property and of the local area
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of surrounding neighbours, with particular regard to outlook, overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The design and form of the two storey side extension with its awkward roof junction would be visually obtrusive and harm character and appearance, and the first floor terrace would materially harm the living conditions of neighbours in Anscombe Close through overlooking.
