Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 14 Springbank, with particular regard to outlook and daylight
What decided it
The combination of the extension's limited width, recessed position, and the substantial level difference between the appeal site and No 14, together with the hipped roof design, ensured the proposal would not unduly harm character and appearance or unacceptably affect neighbouring living conditions.
