Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of numbers 47 and 53 Elm Road, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The flat roof design of the dormers and their relationship to the neighbouring window heights meant they would not appear as two-storey extensions, and therefore would not result in unacceptable harm to neighbouring outlook.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DMP1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
