Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development can be considered under s73 of the 1990 Act
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, including the setting of the Lea Bridge Conservation Area
What decided it
The development harms the character and appearance of the surrounding area by increasing the bulk and massing of the rear extension with a top-heavy appearance and altering windows in a manner that detracts from the host dwelling and the uniformity of the terrace, conflicting with Policies D3 and LP1.
