Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the building by reason of the additions to the main roof and dormer roof extension
- The living conditions of the occupiers of 96 Heathcote Grove in respect of the light to its rear garden area
What decided it
The proposed development would have an adverse effect on the character and appearance of the building and area through incongruous dormers and a hip-to-gable transformation, and would significantly reduce light to the neighbouring property's rear garden, contrary to local plan design and amenity policies.
