Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties with regards to overlooking
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether Condition 2 restricting use and noise levels is reasonable and necessary, having regard to the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby dwellings with regard to noise
What decided it
The roof terrace provides enhanced views and encourages prolonged occupation, materially increasing overlooking and loss of privacy for neighbouring residents beyond what the original window would have permitted.
