Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The development's effect on the character and appearance of both the host building and the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of the occupiers of no 8 Madeira Road and the ground floor flat at no 10
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that the roof extension, whilst out of character with the original building, was well-designed and not unduly harmful to the host property or surroundings, and that requiring its removal would be draconian and unwarranted given the particular circumstances.
