Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 172 and 176 Elsinge Road, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
  • the supply of family housing in the borough

What decided it

The rear extension's siting, size, bulk, appearance and relationship to neighbouring properties created unacceptable effects on both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
