- Gravett R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of the second and third floor flat, with regards outlook, natural ventilation and noise
What decided it
The proposed dormer's excessive width and poor siting relative to the roof edge would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the terrace, and the overlapping bedroom and living spaces between different flats would create unmitigated noise transfer issues.
