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 occupants of 342 Barkham Road and 1 Dowles Barn Close, with regard to privacy
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate accommodation for future occupants, with specific regard to light to the bedroom accommodation proposed in the roofspace

What decided it

The proposed dwelling's design, scale, orientation and window positioning would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area or the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, and would provide adequate accommodation for future occupants.
