Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the bungalow and the local area
- Living conditions at 50 Higham Gobion Road next door, in terms of the outlook from that property
What decided it
The rear dormer, although substantial in scale, fits reasonably within its particular context due to limited public visibility, distance from neighbours, and the prevalence of similar dormers in the area, and therefore causes no material harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
