Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the appearance of the host property
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of surrounding residential properties, specifically in terms of outlook and loss of light

What decided it

The poor quality of materials used in the roof extension's construction, which unacceptably harms the appearance of the host property and is contrary to adopted development plan policies requiring highest architectural quality, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this conflict.
