Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling, pair of semi-detached dwellings and street scene
  • Neighbouring residential amenity with regard to overbearingness and outlook
  • Surface and groundwater flow to the Lye Valley SSSI

What decided it

The proposal would fail to retain sufficient subservience to the host dwelling and would appear as a bulky, prominent addition that would detrimentally impact the character and appearance of the street scene and create an overbearing effect on neighbouring residential amenity.
