Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the area and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Aberdeen Park Conservation Area, with particular regard to the two-storey rear extension and the side dormer
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to the effect of the two-storey extension on daylight/sunlight and outlook

What decided it

The proposed side dormer window would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the significance of the designated heritage asset, which could not be outweighed by the private benefit of internal reconfiguration.

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and its significance as a designated heritage asset was not outweighed by the private benefit of securing additional living accommodation through internal reconfiguration.
