Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the residents of Eden Lodge, in respect of privacy
What decided it
The substantial harm to character and appearance caused by the oversized rear dormer and the material harm to the privacy of neighbouring residents at Eden Lodge from overlooking could not be overcome by the limited housing benefit or mitigation measures offered.
The limited housing benefit from a single three-bedroom dwelling was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the material harm to neighbouring residents' privacy.
