Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupants of 6 Alfan Lane with regard to overshadowing and overbearing impact

What decided it

The comparatively modest rearward projection of the enlarged dormer beyond the previously approved scheme, combined with the generous distance between built form and the secondary nature of the affected windows, means the proposal would not have an unduly oppressive or intrusive effect on neighbouring living conditions.
