Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the residential amenities of neighbouring residents with regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The unrelieved full depth and height of the proposed extension close to the side boundary, particularly the element associated with bedroom 1, would be overly dominant and unacceptably reduce the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring residents at Squirrels, whilst also detracting from the character and appearance of the area through poor design.
