Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of 2 and 4 Wordsworth Close, with particular regard to outlook and light
- whether the development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the appeal property
What decided it
The substantial depth and massing of the two-storey rear extension, combined with the forward projecting gable, would be significantly out of character with the area and would have an unacceptable overbearing effect on neighbouring properties' outlook and light.
