Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at Nos 33 and 35 Mendip Close, with particular regard to visual impact, privacy and light
- Highway safety and free flow of traffic with regard to parking provision
What decided it
The proposal's failure to comply with the Council's SPD design principles requiring extensions to be subordinate and proportionate, combined with its visually intrusive and overbearing impact on the neighbouring property at No 35, outweighed the acceptable position on highway safety.
