®Planning appeal decision
2 St Egberts Way, Chingford, London, E4 6QH
conversion and reconfiguration of existing roof space to form two additional bedrooms. The need for an additional staircase means that the small existing box room will be used for this purpose. There will be a rear extension. The existing hip roof will become a gable type alteration. The new front bedroom and shower room will have three new rooflights projecting no more than 150mm from the plane of the roof tiles

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether it would provide for acceptable living conditions for future occupiers having regards to daylight, outlook and internal and external amenity space
What decided it
The proposed development would severely unbalance the symmetry with the attached neighbour and harm the area's character and appearance through an unduly dominant roof extension, contrary to Policy 53 of the Local Plan.
