Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
Living conditions for occupiers of the neighbouring properties at 26 and 30 Stanley Road North, with particular regard to whether or not it would be overbearing, would lead to an unacceptable sense of enclosure, or would result in a harmful loss of privacy

What decided it

The three large side dormers would be prominent and incongruous features whose cumbersome and intrusive bulk would significantly detract from the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with Policy 26 of the Havering Local Plan and Policy D4 of the London Plan.
