Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the living conditions of the residents of 25 Hillcrest Drive with regard to outlook
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed rear fence extension would result in unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity through loss of outlook and overbearing impact, and the side extension would harm the character and appearance of the area by reducing the important gap between properties.
