Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property No 25 Birch Drive
  • the effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would result in an incongruous addition that would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area through its bulky, disproportionate form and unsympathetic roof alterations.
