Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed revisions upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area
  • The living conditions of occupiers of 42 Station Road, with particular regard to outlook and daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The proposed side extension at upper ground floor level would cause material harm to the living conditions of occupiers of No. 42 through overshadowing, loss of daylight and sunlight, and an overbearing visual presence, contrary to Policy LP24 and the Council's Design Guide.
