Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the terrace of properties and the surroundings on Lorimer Close
  • whether the proposed development would have an adverse impact on the living conditions of present and future occupants of the neighbouring property at No 46 Lambourn Drive in terms of proximity and outlook

What decided it

The proposed extensions would have an unacceptable adverse impact on both the character and appearance of the terrace and the living conditions of the neighbouring property at No 46 Lambourn Drive, contrary to the Framework and local plan policy.
