Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed first floor extension on the character and appearance of the street scene of Quentin Road

What decided it

The proposed extension would reduce the gap between the appeal dwelling and No. 51 to 0.2m at eaves height, creating a cramped arrangement that would harmfully contrast with the spacing of other dwellings and conflict with the Council's Design Guide and NPPF guidance on well-designed places.
