Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers of Sundown Avenue with particular regard to overlooking
What decided it
The increased ridge height of the dwelling combined with the scale, design and location of the apex window created visual dominance and harm to character and appearance that could not be remedied by the proposed alternative schemes.
