Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the rear extension and dormers are permitted development
- Whether the principle of creating two flats is acceptable
- Whether the built elements should be retained on their own merits
- Whether the compliance period is reasonable
What decided it
The roof terrace creates serious injury to neighbours' privacy through direct overlooking of gardens and views into rear windows, and the lack of required affordable housing and climate change mitigation contributions cannot be lawfully secured by condition.
