Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 49 Maskelyne Close in respect of outlook
- whether the development suitably mitigates against the risk of fire
What decided it
The extension's scale, depth, height and massing cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the maisonette estate and material loss of outlook to neighbouring occupiers, with no fallback position or material considerations to outweigh the development plan conflict.
No balancing exercise was undertaken; the development was found to conflict with the development plan with no material considerations indicating the decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with the plan.
