Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the amenity, or living conditions, of adjoining premises, with particular reference to outlook, privacy and light
- The effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The proposal would cause material harm to both the amenity of adjoining premises through overbearing effect and overlooking, and to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse through disruption of its balanced design and incongruity within the uniform terraced roofscape.
