Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property, the terrace it is part of, and the Monken Hadley Conservation Area
- Whether future occupiers would have satisfactory living conditions, with particular regard to outlook and light for the proposed room within the roof space
What decided it
The substantial reduction in size, increased setbacks from front and rear elevations, and repositioning away from existing chimneys compared to the previously dismissed proposal meant the dormer extension would have a materially different and acceptable effect on the conservation area and host property.
