Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider area
- The effects of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents by reason of overlooking
- Whether the time given to comply with the requirements of the notice is unreasonably short
What decided it
The development fails to respect and enhance local character as required by policy LP24, with the extension's materials, scale and forward projection creating marked contrast to the established building line and street pattern of the terrace.
