Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed front extension on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the effect of the development in relation to structural integrity and flooding
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of existing occupiers within the lower ground floor, with particular regard to outlook, and daylight and sunlight
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regards to internal living and external amenity space, outlook, daylight and sunlight
What decided it
The proposed two-storey front extension would materially harm the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area through an unbalanced roof form and loss of visual spaciousness, combined with inadequate structural and flood risk assessment and harm to existing occupiers' outlook.
