Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the roof terrace and external spiral staircase on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the roof terrace and external spiral staircase on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with regard to privacy, noise, and whether or not they would be overbearing

What decided it

The roof terrace and staircase would be visually inconspicuous due to existing screening and distance from neighbours, and would not generate noise or overlooking beyond what is acceptable for residential use.
