Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent dwellings, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The material harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the pair of dwellings caused by the collective effect of the extensions and alterations, particularly the light-coloured render, larger landing window, and deep gable porch, outweighed any benefits and could not be satisfactorily dealt with by conditions, whereas the rear outbuilding was modest, well-screened and compliant with policies.
