Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and area
  • the effect of the AC units on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers in respect of noise and disturbance

What decided it

The two storey side and rear extension as built materially exceeded the approved dimensions and failed to maintain the visual subservience that was central to the acceptability of the approved scheme, resulting in unacceptable harm to character and appearance contrary to Policy EN1.
