Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of 42 Clarendon Road, as regards the rear dormer
- the living conditions of current and future occupiers of the roof extension flat (Flat 6), particularly as regards internal space standards, ventilation, outlook, and the availability of usable and secure private amenity space
- the living conditions of current and future occupiers due to disturbance caused through the intensified use of 42 Clarendon Road (by the creation of an additional flat) and the level of waste created through such intensification
- the demand for parking
What decided it
The development causes significant harm to character and appearance and to the living conditions of occupiers through poor design, inadequate internal space standards, and restricted outlook, which cannot be outweighed by the provision of an additional dwelling.
