Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host dwellings and surrounding area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The proposed rear dormers, with their excessive scale and full-height glazing, would be visually incongruous with the modest character of the area and would result in unacceptable overlooking and loss of privacy for neighbouring occupiers, contrary to Policies 26 and 7 of the Havering Local Plan.
