Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed joint scheme on the character and appearance of the area around Heatherdene Close
- The living conditions of the occupiers of No 15 Heatherdene Close by way of light and outlook
What decided it
The proposed extensions would result in overdeveloped dwellings that would appear significantly larger than other properties in the vicinity and would not respect the prevailing character and appearance of the area, whilst also creating an oppressive outlook for neighbouring occupiers.
