Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of nos. 10 and 14 Telegraph Road
What decided it
The significant disruption to the stepped roof topography and the prominent, jarring appearance of the raised dwelling in the street scene caused harm to the character and appearance of the area that could not be outweighed by the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
The harm to the character and appearance of the wider area outweighed the neutral factors regarding the dormer design and the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
