Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 76 Collier Row Road
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the extensions, particularly the substantial single storey rear element on the boundary creating an overbearing feature and loss of outlook for the neighbouring property at No. 76, combined with the disproportionate scale and mass relative to the host dwelling, outweighs any benefits.
