Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties on Priory Court Road, with particular regard to outlook, enclosure and daylight
  • trees in and around the site

What decided it

The two-storey side extension would fail to achieve subservience to the host dwelling and, combined with its poorly related window design, would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the street scene.
