Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
  • the living conditions of occupiers of 27 Depot Road (No 27), with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The proposed rear extensions would cause both harmful effects on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, and unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupiers of the neighbouring property through loss of outlook and increased sense of enclosure.
