Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would result in the unacceptable loss of a family dwelling
  • whether the development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupants, with regard to internal space standards and privacy
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area

What decided it

The marketing evidence demonstrating no interest in the property as a single-family dwelling, combined with the satisfactory internal space standards and privacy provisions for future occupants, and the acceptable design of the dormers in the context of the established streetscene, justified allowing the appeal.
