Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
- the living conditions of occupiers of 6 Southern Avenue with regard to outlook
- the living conditions of occupiers of 6 and 10 Southern Avenue with regard to privacy and noise and disturbance
What decided it
The unauthorised development's excessive depth, height, scale and use as a roof terrace causes unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and area and to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, in conflict with the development plan.
