Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed rear dormer on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effects of the proposed rear dormer upon the living conditions at 80 and 84 Hartley Down with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposed alterations would significantly harm the living conditions of neighbouring properties at 80 and 84 Hartley Down by enabling overlooking of their most private rear garden areas from an elevated accessible balcony position, notwithstanding compliance with character and appearance policies.
