Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in respect of outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The retention of the original roof shape and architectural integrity of the building, combined with the obscure glazed privacy screens protecting neighbouring occupiers' living conditions, meant the proposal would not adversely affect character, appearance or neighbour amenity.
