The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider terrace.
described on the application form as `Creation of a small roof terrace set back from the perimeter of the roof: Installation of steel supports to the flat roof above the first floor rear bedroom that will support an area of new timber decking and timber balustrading installed to three sides surrounding the patio doors to create a small roof terrace, set back on all sides from the edge of the roof

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider terrace
- the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The cumulative visual bulk of the roof terrace combined with the existing roof extension would unduly dominate the rear addition and appear incongruous in the wider terrace roofscape, and the terrace would create unacceptable privacy harm to neighbouring occupiers.
The quality of life benefit of providing private outdoor space was afforded some weight but was insufficient to outweigh the identified harms to the urban environment and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
