Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of occupiers of 7 Notgrove Road, in terms of outlook and daylight

What decided it

The excessive scale and lack of visual subservience of the proposed extensions would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host building and the distinctive symmetrical form of the semi-detached pair, conflicting with the development plan.
