- The effect of the first-floor rear extension, loft conversion and rear apex dormer on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the first-floor rear extension, loft conversion and rear apex dormer on the living conditions of the future occupants of 6 Queensbury Close with regard to outlook
- The effect of the first-floor rear extension, loft conversion and rear apex dormer on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 8 Queensbury Close with regard to outlook, daylight and sunlight
- The effect of the first-floor rear extension, loft conversion and rear apex dormer on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 173 Hurst Street with regard to privacy
What decided it
The first-floor rear extension and rear dormer would cause material harm to character and appearance, future occupant living conditions, and neighbouring amenity through loss of outlook, daylight, sunlight and privacy, conflicting with local plan policies.
