Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the single storey side extension, two storey and single storey rear extensions, new rear dormer and hip to gable extension to existing attic bedroom, new velux lights to front and removal of chimney on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
The effect of the single storey side extension, two storey and single storey rear extensions, new rear dormer and hip to gable extension to existing attic bedroom, new velux lights to front and removal of chimney on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The cumulative visual effect of the extensions and alterations (excluding the porch) would be unsympathetic to the appeal site, harming character and appearance, and would create an overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions, particularly through loss of outlook and natural light.
