Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of 41 Windsor Road with particular regard to light
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the overly large and out-of-scale roof form, combined with significant harm to neighbouring living conditions through overshadowing and loss of light, outweighed the benefits to the appellant.
The benefits of enhanced living conditions for the appellant and efficient use of the site were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the local area and the significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
