Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and whether the character or appearance of the Westbury-on-Trym Conservation Area would be preserved or enhanced
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the residents of neighbouring dwellings with particular reference to privacy and disturbance
What decided it
The existing dormer already transforms the property's appearance, so the proposed terrace modification would be minor and not harmful, and privacy screens would adequately mitigate overlooking concerns.
