Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of the property, with particular regard to the amount of outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The proposed dormers would harmonise with and restore balance to the pair of semi-detached properties by matching the scale and design of existing dormers at No 18, and the garden area would provide adequate living conditions despite being below the quantitative space standards.
