Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the original property and surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers of No 28 and 32 Holt Park Road with particular regard to outlook and daylight/sunlight
What decided it
The proposed raising of the ridge height and poorly designed two-storey rear extension with large dormer windows would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area by appearing incongruous and overdeveloped relative to neighbouring properties.
