Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the house and the local area
  • Whether the proposal would be for inappropriate development in the Green Belt and if so, the effect on the openness of the Green Belt
  • The effect on living conditions at neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposed rear dormer window would create unacceptable overlooking of the neighbouring property at 16 Philand Lane, substantially reducing privacy and conflicting with development plan policies protecting amenity.
