Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers at No.27 Wood Lane and No.31 Wood Lane, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the surrounding area caused by the incongruous two-storey rear projection, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions through loss of outlook, outweighed the limited weight given to self-build provision.
