Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed loft conversion and increase in ridge height on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed loft conversion and increase in ridge height on the living conditions of the neighbours at No.8 and No.10 Parkway
What decided it
The proposed loft conversion would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area through its disproportionate scale and massing, and would cause harm to the living conditions of neighbours at No.10 through loss of privacy from the rear gable window.
