Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the wider area
- the effect on the living conditions of the adjoining residential property at 11 Linton Crescent by way of outlook and visual impact
What decided it
The proposed extension's poor relationship with the adjacent building, creating a shear blank elevation immediately adjacent to a shallow pitched roof that would be entirely discordant with the existing pattern of development and would unacceptably harm both character and appearance and the living conditions of the neighbouring property.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM1DM3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
