Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 39 Queens Road West, with regard to sunlight and daylight, and outlook

What decided it

The extension would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area through its cramped, incongruous design, and would materially harm the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers through loss of daylight, sunlight and outlook.
