Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of the neighbouring property, Kimberley, with particular reference to perceived overlooking
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to outlook
What decided it
The introduction of side gables set up from the eaves would harmfully disrupt the roof profile and create an unattractive bulky form that would appear as a discordant feature out of place within the streetscene, thereby unacceptably harming the character and appearance of the area.
