Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the building and the local area
- living conditions at neighbouring properties, in terms of any overbearing and overshadowing impacts
What decided it
The inclusion of the dormer extension over the rear outrigger created an unduly bulky, unsympathetic structure that both harmed the character of the building and unacceptably compromised the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing and overshadowing effects.
The benefits of additional living space to the flat were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the building and the unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions.
