Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development to the front of the property on the character and appearance of the host property and area in general
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of neighbouring properties
- Highway safety
What decided it
The proposed two-storey rear extension and rooflights would cause unacceptable overbearing impact and loss of privacy to neighbouring occupants, contrary to Policy CS21 and the Design SPD, whereas the front porch and driveway modifications would not cause such harm and were therefore allowed.
