Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area, including the Birkby Conservation Area
- The living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of 4 and 8 Grimscar Avenue, with particular regard to daylight, outlook and privacy
- The living conditions of the occupiers of the host property, with particular regard to external amenity space
What decided it
The proposed dormers would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Birkby Conservation Area with no public benefits to outweigh this harm, and the extension would cause unacceptable impacts on neighbouring living conditions and the host property's amenity space.
