Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the conservation area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 18A Frithwood Avenue with regard to outlook, light and privacy
What decided it
The scale and mass of the proposed roof dormer extension would have a dominant and incongruent effect on the building and the conservation area, and the extension would unacceptably harm the outlook and light of neighbouring occupiers, with the limited private benefits insufficient to outweigh the identified harms.
