Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on adjacent occupiers' living conditions, with particular regard to the outlook from 40 Sequoia Park
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area

What decided it

The harmfully overbearing impact of the considerable bulk and depth of the proposed extensions on the outlook from the neighbouring property at 40 Sequoia Park, particularly from its patio doors and patio area.

The absence of harm to character and appearance did not outweigh the significant adverse impact on the living conditions of adjacent occupiers; the scheme conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not indicate the appeal should be decided other than in accordance with it.
