Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed extension on the architectural integrity of the host property and thereby the character and appearance of the street scene
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of 15 Oast Meadow in terms of the potential for the development to result in overlooking leading to a loss of privacy
What decided it
The combination of significant harm to the architectural integrity and character of the host property and semi-detached pair, together with material loss of privacy to the neighbouring dwelling that could not be adequately mitigated, justified dismissal of the appeal.
