Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed two storey front and side extensions on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
  • the effect of the proposed rear balcony on the living conditions of the occupants of No 42 Copse Avenue with particular regard to privacy and disturbance

What decided it

The substantial two storey extensions would appear as a dominant and incongruous addition lacking subservience to the host dwelling and would result in the loss of the distinctive catslide roof, causing harm to character and appearance that conflicts with local plan policies.

Plan policies cited: Policy 6 of the Bromley Local Plan, Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan, Policy D3 of the London Plan, Policy D4 of the London Plan
