Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to noise and outlook

What decided it

The proposal's limited visibility due to its rear location within the middle of the terrace, combined with the screening and limited use of the roof terrace, means it would not harm character and appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
