Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of No 11 The Beeches with particular regard to outlook and whether it would be unduly overbearing and result in an unacceptable sense of enclosure
- The character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed extension of the northeastern wall would create an excessively wide and blank projection that would be unacceptably overbearing to neighbouring occupants, adversely affecting their outlook and creating an unacceptable sense of enclosure, contrary to Policy DM20 and NPPF paragraph 135.
