Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene
- Whether the proposal would have an overbearing impact on the occupiers of No.36 and result in overlooking of No. 40, and if obscured glazed the bedroom window in the north-east elevation of the proposed extension would provide a suitable outlook for future residents
What decided it
The dwelling as extended would appear cramped and cause significant harm to the character and visual amenity of the street scene, and the bedroom window to new bedroom 3 could not be designed to satisfy both the living conditions of future occupiers and neighbouring residents.
