Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The cumulative effect of the proposed extensions and roof alterations would substantially increase the bulk, height and scale of the dwelling to an extent that would make it appear incongruous, disproportionate and overbearing in the context of the surrounding area and neighbouring properties, conflicting with development plan policies requiring subordinate, well-designed extensions.
The private benefits of improved and enlarged living accommodation for the appellant's family did not outweigh the harmful impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area and the loss of outlook to neighbouring occupiers.
