Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No 12 Craven Walk by way of sense of enclosure and being overbearing
- The character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would create an undue sense of enclosure and appear overbearing to the neighbouring property, and would be an unsympathetic and dominant addition harmful to the character and appearance of the residential area, conflicting with development plan policies on amenity and design quality.
