Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for adjoining occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight

What decided it

The scale and massing of the proposed extension would erode the characteristic visual relief and openness of the street scene and create an overbearing impact on neighbouring residential occupiers' outlook, contrary to the development plan.
