Inspector: Townend K

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing property and the surrounding area
whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for the existing and future occupiers of the property, with regard to internal living space

What decided it

The scale and mass of the rear dormer would be disproportionate to the existing dwelling and create unacceptable living conditions due to restricted head height across more than 75 percent of the flat's floorspace.

Plan policies cited: Policy 53 of LP1, Policy 56 of LP1, Policy D6 of The London Plan, Policy DM7 of the DMP
