Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property
- the living conditions of the occupants of 12 St. Margarets Avenue with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The significant harm caused to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area by the removal of the distinctive roof slope and introduction of an incongruous flat-roofed design outweighed the acceptable impact on neighbouring living conditions.
