Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the local area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby residential properties with particular regard to potential noise and general disturbance
What decided it
The proposed extension would be significantly larger and bulkier than the existing rear projection and approved alternative scheme, overwhelming the character and appearance of the existing building in conflict with development plan policies requiring extensions to be subordinate to the host building.
