Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the first floor extension with the proposed alteration to the parapet on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect of the first floor extension with the proposed alteration to the parapet on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier at 219 Edgewarebury Lane with respect to outlook
- If harm is found, whether material considerations, including any fallback position and the occupiers' personal circumstances, justifies a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The proposal would cause permanent harm to the character and appearance of the area and to neighbouring living conditions that cannot be justified by the appellants' personal circumstances or material considerations, and viable alternative solutions exist within the property.
