Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupants of No 16 Canford Drive
What decided it
The harm caused to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area by the proposed increase in height, introduction of gabled roof ends, and overlarge dormers outweighed the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
