Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Sands End Conservation area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 137 and 141 Carnwath Road, with particular reference to daylight and outlook

What decided it

The dormer windows would fundamentally alter the roof character and appearance of the Conservation Area with only private benefits and no public benefits to justify the less than substantial harm, whereas the rear extension was sympathetic and caused no material harm to neighbours or the Conservation Area.
