Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to privacy and light pollution
  • whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for any associated flood risk

What decided it

The proposed development would significantly improve the appearance of the appeal property by unifying the existing dormer with the bulk of the dwelling, and would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions or flood risk.
