Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of occupants of No 149 and 153, having regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The rear extension's material deviation from approved details and its substantial height and unusual roof form cause demonstrable harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, particularly No 153, contrary to development plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021), Policy CS1 of the Harrow Core Strategy (2012), Policy DM1 of Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan (2013)
