Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the two storey and first floor side elements on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of Number 6 Dearnfield with specific regard to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposed extensions would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by appearing as dominating and disproportionate additions that disrupt the original consistency of the group of three similar dwellings within the cul-de-sac.
