Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers at No. 57 and No. 61 Troydale Drive, with particular regard to outlook and overshadowing
- The character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The significant adverse effects on neighbouring living conditions through overbearing impact and overshadowing, combined with the harmful effect on character and appearance through the introduction of an incongruous flat roof, were not outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances.
The personal circumstances of the appellant as a foster carer requiring additional bathroom facilities were outweighed by the significant adverse impacts on neighbouring living conditions and the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.
