Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, streetscene and locality
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwelling at 8 Highfield Road, with regard to whether the development would appear overbearing

What decided it

The harm to character and appearance of the streetscene and the overbearing effect on the adjacent property's living conditions, arising from the disproportionate scale and bulk of the extension, was sufficient to justify dismissal regardless of other matters raised.
