Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing building and the surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties having regard to overlooking of rear gardens
- whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers having regard to noise
What decided it
The proposed rear dormer's excessive scale and dominance on the roof slope, combined with the terrace's overlooking impact on neighbouring gardens and the absence of acoustic insulation measures between the flats, collectively rendered the proposal unacceptable.
