Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the locality
  • The effects upon the visual and residential amenity of the neighbouring occupiers at 39 Church Way with regard to the potential for any visually obtrusive or overbearing effects

What decided it

The cumulative bulk, mass and design of the proposed extensions would be disrespectful of and inappropriate to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surroundings, conflicting with development plan policies requiring high quality design that respects local character.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM01, Policy CS1, Policy CS5, Policy D1
