Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the roof extensions on a) the character and appearance of the area, and b) the living conditions of occupiers at 201 Kingston Road, with particular regard to daylight and outlook

What decided it

The rear dormer roof extension's excessive mass, bulk and poor design that failed to respect local character and caused overbearing harm to neighbouring living conditions outweighed any benefits from increasing the use of the existing building.
