Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the rear dormer and single storey extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
- the effects of the rear dormer and single storey extension on the living conditions of the occupiers of 39 Abbotswood Road, with regard to privacy and outlook
What decided it
The excessive scale and mass of the rear dormer, which would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, combined with the unacceptable loss of privacy and overbearing impact on the neighbouring property, outweighed any material considerations including the fallback position.
