Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the property and surrounding area
  • whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for existing and future residents of the appeal property, with particular reference to private outdoor space
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 13 Herdman Close, with particular reference to outlook

What decided it

The proposed extension would harm the character and appearance of the area, fail to provide adequate living conditions for future residents due to the overbearing impact on private garden space, and harm the neighbouring property's outlook from its rear garden.
