Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed first floor side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene of Castle Road
- The effect of the proposed rear roof terrace on the living conditions of occupiers of 225 and 229 Castle Road with respect to privacy
What decided it
The first floor side extension and rear roof terrace would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the street scene and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy, conflicting with the development plan and NPPF.
