Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of Nos. 70 and 74 Thicketford Road in terms of outlook and light
What decided it
The combined length of the extensions exceeding 4.0 metres and the adverse impact on neighbours' outlook and light, particularly the substantially enclosing effect on No. 70 Thicketford Road, outweighed the benefits to the appellant's living conditions.
