Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property
- the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 7 Farndon Drive with particular regard to outlook and light
- if any harm caused in respect of the above issues, whether such harm is outweighed by the personal circumstances relating to the occupiers of the appeal property
What decided it
The scale and extent of the proposed extension would cause unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the host property and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, which could not be justified by the appellant's personal circumstances.
