Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the streetscene
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to privacy, outlook, and overshadowing
What decided it
The triple garage would dominate the plot and create undue harm to the character and appearance of the streetscene and to the outlook of neighbouring properties, whereas the attached extensions would not cause such harm and were therefore severable from the refused element.
