Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed rear extension on the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area
- The effects of the proposed rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of 39 and 40 Sutton Park with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would be overly large, dominant and overbearing, causing unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the host property and wider area, and to the outlook and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
