Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property, the street scene and the surrounding area
  • The living conditions of occupants of 28 Belfairs Park Drive, with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The part single/part two-storey rear extension would be excessive in scale and bulk relative to the existing dwelling and would create an unacceptable sense of enclosure that would dominate the outlook from the neighbouring property at No.28.
