Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 10 Spikes Bridge Road with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The proposed extension's substantial scale and depth would be incongruous with the character of the area and would unacceptably dominate the outlook and light of the neighbouring property, conflicting with development plan policies on character, appearance and neighbour amenity.
