Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and on the Thorpe Road Special Character Area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of numbers 26 and 30 Westwood Park Road, with regard to outlook and privacy

What decided it

The design of the extensions, particularly the matching of existing materials and roof design, combined with adequate separation distances from neighbouring properties, meant the proposal would preserve the character of the Special Character Area and not adversely affect neighbours' living conditions.
