Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding locality
- The living conditions of the existing and future occupiers, with particular regard to access to light
What decided it
The proposed extension would be clearly disproportionate and harmful to the character and appearance of the existing building and local distinctiveness, contrary to CS Policy CS03, which outweighed the acceptable living conditions assessment.
