Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of adjacent residential properties, with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The proposed dormer would not look out of place in the location and would not cause undue harm to character and appearance or living conditions, outweighing non-compliance with outdated supplementary planning guidance.
The absence of unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions outweighed the non-compliance with the 2004 Supplementary Planning Guidance.
