Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would provide adequate living conditions for the intended future occupiers of the basement accommodation with particular reference to internal floorspace, outlook, and access to natural light
- The effect of the proposed enlarged front dormer on the character and appearance of the existing property and the wider area with particular regards to scale and design
What decided it
The proposed basement accommodation would provide inadequate living conditions with insufficient space, poor natural light, and limited outlook, combined with the enlarged dormer causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance.
