Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed dormer on the character and appearance of the host property and wider area
- the effect of the proposed first-floor extension on the living conditions of the adjoining occupiers, with particular reference to outlook, sunlight and daylight
What decided it
The material harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the disproportionately large dormer, combined with the material harm to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and daylight, outweighed the modest benefits of creating two new dwellings.
