Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties by reason of being overbearing
  • the safety of other highway users

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property caused by the scale and massing of the proposed development, particularly the three-storey rear extension, outweighed the acceptable aspects regarding neighbouring amenity and highway safety.

Plan policies cited: Policy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy, Policy EN11 of the East Northamptonshire Local Plan, Policy EN1 of the Rushden Neighbourhood Plan, CS Policy 1
