Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupiers of No.80 Wold Road in respect of outlook and light

What decided it

The two storey rear extension would constitute a dominant and out of proportion addition when viewed from County Road South, failing to assimilate appropriately into the surrounding environment and causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area.
