Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the proposal upon the residential amenity of neighbouring occupiers at 1 Snarsgate Street with regard to sense of enclosure, daylight and sunlight and other neighbouring properties with regard to sense of enclosure

What decided it

The separation distance of over 5 metres between the proposed dormer and the neighbouring skylight, combined with the dormer being contained within the existing roof footprint and not projecting beyond the original eaves, meant the proposal would not result in harmful impact to residential amenity with regard to daylight, sunlight, or sense of enclosure.

Plan policies cited: Policy CL5
