Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development namely the rear dormer and the roof terrace on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the roof terrace upon the living conditions of nearby occupiers particularly Nos 14 and 18 Earlsmead and Nos 13, 15, and 17 St Margaret's Road with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The dormer element was acceptable as it complemented the locality and was consistent with other dormers in the area, but the roof terrace was an incongruous feature causing harm to character and appearance and unacceptable overlooking of neighbouring properties.
