Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the Rush Common and Brixton Hill Conservation Area
  • The effect of the use of the proposed roof terrace on the living conditions for adjoining occupiers in terms of outlook, privacy and noise and disturbance

What decided it

The cumulative impact of the dormer, rear return alterations, and roof terrace would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and conservation area, conflicting with local plan policies and the NPPF's heritage protection requirements.
