Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 27 Berengrave Lane with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The mitigation of privacy impacts through conditions requiring obscure glazing and fixed-shut roof lights, combined with the acceptable character and appearance of the building within its varied residential context, allowed the appeal.
