Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- The living conditions of existing adjoining occupiers at No.18 Oakwood Avenue
What decided it
The proposed extension would be visually dominant and disproportionately large relative to the host dwelling and neighbouring extensions, and would create an overbearing impact on the living conditions and outlook of adjoining occupiers, causing permanent harm that is not justified by the appellants' personal circumstances.
