Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and wider locality
  • the living conditions of the occupiers at 125 Northdown Road with regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would introduce unacceptable harm to both the character and appearance of the streetscene through disruption of the established uniformity of the semi-detached row, and to the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers through an overbearing sense of mass on the shared boundary.
