Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the condition in question would have on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect that varying the condition in question would have on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to the occupiers of Winton House
What decided it
The omission of the recess to Bedroom 4 and addition of the projecting dormer would create an unbroken and largely blank elevation that would dominate outlook from the affected window of Winton House, causing unacceptable harm to living conditions that outweighs any modest increase in house size.
The harm to character and appearance and living conditions of neighbouring occupiers was not outweighed by any identified benefits of the proposed revisions.
