Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and on the local area, including the setting of the South Downs National Park
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbours at No 70, with particular regard to outlook, overlooking and loss of privacy and loss of light
What decided it
The material harm to character and appearance of the property and local area caused by the bulky, over-dominant two-storey rear extension, combined with material harm to neighbours' living conditions through loss of outlook and daylight, outweighed any other considerations.
