Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extensions on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed rear extension on living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring property at 20 Kemble Road, with particular regard to loss of outlook and whether it would create an unacceptable sense of enclosure
What decided it
The dormer extensions, particularly the side dormer, would be a prominent and intrusive addition that would unbalance the semi-detached pair and conflict with the Lewisham Alterations and Extensions SPD guidance, whereas the rear extension would be a modest, subservient addition that would not harm character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
