Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the wider area
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The presence of existing flat roof dormers and mansard roof features on the appeal property, combined with the small scale, rear position, and lower height of the proposed extension, made the flat roof design appropriate and ensured the proposal would not cause material harm to character and appearance.
