Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property at No. 28 Norfolk Road with particular regard to light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed front dormers would result in incongruous and out-of-keeping additions that cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host property and area, which significantly outweighs the benefits of the scheme.

The lack of significant harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers was significantly outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the host property and area.
