Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the rear dormer extension on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties in relation to privacy, noise and disturbance
- whether the development provides acceptable access to amenity space, refuse storage and cycle storage
What decided it
The roof terrace creates an unacceptable level of overlooking and perception of overlooking into the rear gardens of adjacent properties, resulting in significant loss of privacy that cannot be adequately mitigated and outweighs the benefits of the development.
