Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether future occupiers would have acceptable living conditions having regard to outlook, daylight, sunlight and odour

What decided it

The proposed outrigger dormer would result in significant harm to character and appearance, and future occupiers would not have acceptable living conditions due to poor outlook from bedroom windows.
