Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers at No 22 Oaklands Avenue in terms of loss of light, outlook and sense of enclosure
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Osterley Park Conservation Area and its effect on the significance of the designated heritage asset
What decided it
The single storey extension's excessive depth of 4.5 metres along the party boundary would unacceptably harm neighbouring amenity through loss of outlook and overbearing effect, conflicting with local policy and SPD guidance, whereas the roof alterations would preserve the Conservation Area character and were therefore severable and approvable.
