Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
- the living conditions of adjacent occupiers, with particular regard to the outlook from 65 Briar Crescent, and any potential for overlooking from the scheme's balcony
What decided it
The rear roof extension is wholly at odds with the character and appearance of the original property and the area, and this harm cannot be justified by the appellant's personal circumstances.
