Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the streetscene
  • The effect on the living conditions of the neighbouring dwelling at number 17 Foxglove Close, with particular regard to outlook

What decided it

The single-storey side extension would significantly reduce the gap between the properties, which is a positive feature in the streetscene, resulting in a cramped appearance harmful to character and appearance and conflicting with development plan policy.
