Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension and roof alterations on the character and appearance of the host property and the street scene
- The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of 68 & 72 Freegrounds Road
- The effect of the proposed summer house on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The summer house's location at the rear boundary with no space for mitigating soft landscaping would create an unattractive hard frontage to Cortina Way that would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area, whereas the rear extension's design, materials, and relationship to neighbouring properties would be acceptable.
