Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers with regard to outlook, light and provision of internal and external space
- whether the development provides adequate cycle parking
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the increased roof height and bulk of the back addition, combined with inadequate private external amenity space and constrained outlook and light for future occupiers, outweighed the moderate benefit of providing additional housing.
