Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, including whether it would result in the overdevelopment of the site
- The living conditions of the occupiers of No 2 Toland Close, in respect of outlook in relation to the single storey rear extension
What decided it
The harmful effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, particularly the unsympathetic fenestration design, timber cladding, and overly bulky roof alterations that would appear discordant in the street scene, outweighed the favourable finding regarding neighbouring living conditions.
