Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the unauthorised development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the unauthorised development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 1 Lealholme Grove in respect of outlook
What decided it
The dormer's disproportionate size and position cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and material loss of outlook to neighbouring occupiers, which is not outweighed by the appellant's need for additional space given that a smaller approved dormer remains capable of implementation.
