Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed extensions on the living conditions of occupiers of 46 and 50 Cutenhoe Road, in terms of privacy
- the effect of the proposed outbuilding on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed extensions would be discordant additions that would erode the consistency of the group of dwellings and create an unacceptable terracing effect by eliminating gaps between buildings, conflicting with local plan policies requiring design consistency and respect for prevailing gaps and spaces.
