Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.43 Hill View Road
  • The character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area

What decided it

The proposed first floor side extension would be positioned too close to the common boundary with No.43, creating an overbearing visual impact and harmful visual coalescing within the street scene, contrary to design and amenity policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy CP1, Policy CP24, Policy P4/12, Policy SQ1, Policy Annexe PA4/12
