Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 43 and 47 Church Road, with particular regard to outlook
- Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the occupants of the appeal property, with particular regard to external space
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the adequacy of parking
What decided it
The proposed rear extension would be excessively large and bulky in scale and massing, resulting in harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area and an overbearing outlook for neighbouring occupiers, contrary to the development plan.
