Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
  • whether the proposal would provide a satisfactory standard of accommodation for the future occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance and the provision of private amenity space
  • the effect of the proposal on parking, highway safety and the free flow of traffic, including whether satisfactory waste and recycling servicing arrangements would be provided and sustainable transport would be prioritised
  • whether the proposal would make provision for sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) measures

What decided it

The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area due to the roof dormer's non-compliance with design standards and awkward positioning relative to the double storey rear projection, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework.
