Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed rear dormer on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at 1 Lealholme Grove in respect of their privacy and outlook
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at 4 Palm Grove in respect of their outlook

What decided it

The large, dominant dormer would be harmful to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, and would cause direct overlooking and oppressive outlook harm to neighbouring residents at 1 Lealholme Grove, conflicting with Policies SD3 and SD8 and the Framework.

Plan policies cited: Policy SD3, Policy SD8
