Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed developments on the character and appearance of the existing dwellings and of the local area
  • The effect of the proposed development at No 1 Hampden Road on the living conditions of the neighbours of the adjacent property, Rowan, with particular regard to outlook
  • The effect of the proposed development on parking provision
  • The effect of the proposed development on interests of ecological importance

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance from the disproportionately large and bulky rear extensions, combined with material harm to neighbouring amenity and inadequate parking provision, outweighed any benefits and was not justified by the development plan.
