Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupier/s at 43 Booth Lane North, in terms of outlook and light
What decided it
The proposed gambrel-style roof design would be incongruous and overly dominant within the established hipped-roof character of the area, and the increased height and massing would cause significant overbearing and loss of light impacts on the neighbouring property.
