Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of No.24 with particular regard to overlooking and loss of privacy

What decided it

The harmful effect on character and appearance caused by the front gable and full-width canopy, which would visually contrast with the modest design of the dwelling and the row of properties, outweighed any potential mitigation of the overlooking issue through a privacy screen.
