Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dormer extension to the main side roof would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Station Road Conservation Area in which the appeal property is located
- the effect of the first floor rear extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 1A Buxton Road, with regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The proposed side dormer would fail to preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and cause considerable harm that was not outweighed by public benefits, and the rear extension would have an unacceptably harmful overbearing effect on neighbouring outlook.
