Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers
What decided it
The proposal would harm the locally distinctive and largely intact hipped roofscape character of Radnor Avenue through the hip to gable conversion and oversized rear dormer, and would provide inadequate living conditions for future occupants due to insufficient and cramped internal space for a 4-bedroom home.
