Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on the living conditions of 16 Alexander Avenue and 20 Alexander Avenue, with specific regard to privacy, and future occupiers with specific regard to living space
  • The effect on trees

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer and extensions would dominate the rear elevation and harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area through poor design that conflicts with the development plan.
