Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed 2-storey side extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed part 2-storey, part single storey rear extension on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at 79 Archer Lane, with regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The proposed development conflicts with the development plan in two respects: the side extension harms the character and appearance of the area by eroding the defining sense of separation between properties, and the rear extension materially harms the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and light.
