- Inspector
- Cryan M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring house Largo, with particular regard to whether or not the rear outbuilding would be overbearing or oppressive
What decided it
The proposed side extension would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area by unbalancing the symmetrical front elevation of the existing house and reading as a bulky, dominant and intrusive addition to the streetscene.
