Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed 2-storey front infill extension and part single storey, part two storey front and side extension upon the character and appearance of the host property and wider area, including whether appropriate replacement tree planting would be secured
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 9 Sandmoor Drive, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The harmful effect of the proposed front extensions, particularly the 2-storey infill extension and dormer window, on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area, combined with unresolved uncertainty regarding replacement tree planting, outweighed any neutral considerations regarding neighbouring amenity.
