Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 76 Everest Road, with particular regard to outlook
- the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The overbearing impact on the neighbouring property's outlook caused by the scale and position of the annexe substantially outweighed the modest personal benefits of additional accommodation, resulting in conflict with the development plan that could not be overcome.
the benefits of additional accommodation for care needs, taken cumulatively, were substantially outweighed by the adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions and failure to respond to context when assessed against the National Decision Making Policies of the Framework
