Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the site, the surrounding area and the Oxford Road Conservation Area
  • the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The dark framed windows, whilst materially affecting external appearance, were acceptable in the context of a post-war non-characteristic property within a mixed streetscape and provided visual consistency with the approved ancillary building, whereas the roof enclosure caused significant harm to conservation area character and unacceptable privacy harm through overlooking.
