Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • the living conditions of adjacent occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and overshadowing

What decided it

The cumulative scale and bulk of the proposed extensions, particularly the two storey rear projection not set down from the ridge, would overwhelm the original building and harm the character and appearance of the host property and the Residential Area of Exceptional Character, contrary to Policy H12 and design guidance.
