Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- The effects of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of 24 and 28 Western Avenue with specific regard to the effects of the proposed rear extension and balcony upon privacy, light and outlook
What decided it
The combined effects of the scale, design complexity, material changes, and the harmful impacts on neighbouring amenity through loss of outlook, light and privacy rendered the proposal unacceptably harmful and in conflict with the development plan.
