®Planning appeal decision
18, Parkholme Road, Hackney, London, E8 3AG

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the Graham Road and Mapledene Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with regard to outlook
What decided it
The proposed rear dormer would occupy most of the roof width and be unduly bulky and disproportionate to the dwelling, significantly disrupting the uniform roofscape of the terrace and failing to preserve the Conservation Area character, whereas the front garden alterations and other works would enhance the Conservation Area and cause no significant harm to neighbours.
