Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No 28 and No 30 The Esplanade, with particular regard to light
What decided it
The proposed first-floor rear extension would harmfully overpower the dwelling's existing simple, modest character and would significantly reduce sunlight to neighbouring properties' key amenity areas, conflicting with development plan policies on design and neighbour amenity.
Plan policies cited: Policy DM25, Policy DM28, Policy CP11
