Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- the effect of the part single part two storey side and rear extension on the living conditions of occupiers of 1A and 3 Stockton Gardens with particular regard to visual intrusion
- the effect of the air conditioning units on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise
What decided it
The development conflicts with the development plan taken as a whole due to harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbours, with no material considerations justifying a decision contrary to the development plan.
The appellant's considerable expense in creating additional living space was outweighed by the harm to character and appearance of the area and the harm to neighbouring living conditions, with no material considerations justifying departure from the development plan.
