Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings
- the living conditions of those residents of properties in Wickfield Close backing onto the appeal site with particular reference to privacy and intrusion
What decided it
The front dormers would cause visual harm to the character and appearance of the area, and the large roof terrace would materially harm the privacy and living conditions of neighbouring residents, particularly at No 4 Wickfield Close.
