Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No.47 with respect to their outlook
What decided it
The extension would harmfully contrast with the staggered building line character of the terrace and would severely harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
