Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including the host building
- The living conditions of the occupants of the flat, having particular regard to its floor to ceiling height, amenity space, outlook and daylight, and provision of recycling, refuse and cycle storage facilities
- Parking and highway congestion in the area
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the crude and incongruous dormer extensions, combined with the failure to provide adequate amenity space, waste facilities and cycle storage, outweighed any benefits of providing additional housing.
