Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions and alterations on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area, including the street scene of Scotts Close
- The effect of the proposed two storey rear extension on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby dwellings and in particular 5 Scotts Close with respect to outlook, privacy and light
What decided it
The two storey side extension, owing to its scale and position creating an overly cramped effect and substantially closing the gap to the neighbouring property, combined with the two storey rear extension materially harming the outlook and amenity of the neighbouring dwelling at 5 Scotts Close, rendered the proposal unacceptable.
