Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property, 7 Westfield Gardens, with regard to overbearing and overshadowing
What decided it
The extensions would not be visible from the street, would be sympathetic in design and materials, and would not have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area or the living conditions of neighbours due to existing boundary treatments and the modest change in height and proximity.
