Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and that of the local area
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers
What decided it
The proposal would result in substantial harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and local area through its incongruous and dominating roof composition, and substantial harm to neighbouring living conditions through significant overlooking and loss of privacy from the roof terrace.
