Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 45 Beauclair Drive, with particular reference to outlook and light
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for parking and the effect of any lack of provision on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through overbearing effect and loss of light, and would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling through over-dominant dormer design, contrary to the development plan.
