Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of occupants of the adjoining houses with particular regard to outlook and sunlight/daylight matters
What decided it
The rear dormer window, by reason of its scale, box-like form and prominent visibility from neighbouring dwellings, appeared as a discordant and unduly prominent feature that caused material harm to the character and appearance of the house and area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DMP1 of the London Borough of Brent Local Plan November 2016 Development Management Policies
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
