Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 39 Steventon Road by reason of overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the cramped appearance created by the proximity of the proposed dwelling to the reconfigured bungalow and neighbouring property, combined with the unacceptable loss of privacy from the new bedroom window overlooking the adjacent garden, rendered the development unacceptable.
