Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that removing condition 8 would have on the living conditions of the neighbours
  • The effect that removing condition 8 would have on the living conditions of the future occupants of the appeal dwelling
  • The effect that removing condition 8 would have on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The privacy harm to neighbouring occupants from unrestricted roof alterations at the front elevation provided clear justification to retain restrictions on Classes B and C of the Order, but no such justification existed for the other classes of permitted development.

Framework references: 54
