Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of residents of 57A Robins Bow, with particular regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The lawful fallback position of a GPDO-compliant dormer with fixed shut, obscure glazed windows, which would cause the same character harm but avoid the privacy harm, strongly indicated that planning permission should be granted.
The identified conflict with the development plan, SPDs and the Framework was outweighed by the fallback position, which strongly indicated planning permission should be granted subject to conditions.
