Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of Number 150 Colin Gardens, with regards to privacy

What decided it

The development harms both the character and appearance of the area through its incongruous roof form and bulky dormer, and harms the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of privacy caused by the raised terrace.
