Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the rear dormer, hip to gable roof extension and first floor rear extension on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed balcony on the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular reference to privacy
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the cumulative visual impact of the gable roof, dormer and balcony on a prominent corner plot, which would significantly outweigh any housing supply benefits.
Even if the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly outweigh the benefits
