Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
  • the occupiers' personal circumstances and the need for the proposed development

What decided it

The substantial harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the dominant and incongruous front and rear roof extensions outweighs the appellant's personal circumstances and family needs.
