Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
- The effects upon the living conditions at 61 Barcombe Road with specific regard to visual impact and light
- The effects upon the living conditions at 7 Lammas Lane with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposal would fail to integrate into the street scene and would result in harmful effects to character and appearance and to the living conditions of neighbouring properties, particularly the overbearing impact on No 61 Barcombe Road, which outweighs the limited weight attributable to the fallback position of permitted development rights.
