Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed pitched roof extension to the front dormer on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed pitched roof extension to the front dormer on the living conditions of the occupants of No.43 Vernon Road, with particular reference to light and outlook
What decided it
The proposed pitched roof extension would cause significant harm to both the character and appearance of the host property and street scene, and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through loss of outlook, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Saved Policy H2/3 of the Bury Unitary Development Plan, 1997Supplementary Planning Document 6 Alterations and Extensions to Residential Properties, 2010
