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 nearby occupiers, with regard to overlooking
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Frenchay Conservation Area from the excessive and dominant dormer windows outweighed the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
Although the development would not have a detrimental impact on the living conditions of neighbouring properties, this does not outweigh the harm that has been found to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Frenchay Conservation Area.
