Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 23-27 The Spires, with particular regard to outlook and overshadowing
What decided it
The first floor front extension would appear out of scale and not subservient to the main dwelling, with inappropriate materials and fenestration for the street character, and would create an overbearing impact on neighbouring properties' outlook, whereas the single storey rear extension would be acceptable and compliant with policy.
