Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the surrounding area
- whether or not the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space standards, privacy, and private outside space
- the effects of the proposed development on the supply and quality of family dwellings in the Borough
- the effects of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to noise and disturbance and privacy
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance from the oversized dormer extension, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers regarding privacy and outdoor space, and harm to the supply and quality of family dwellings, collectively outweighed the limited benefit of one additional dwelling.
